A. Your Deaf Sociology class and/or the Deaf Community: The article has an immediate connection with the Deaf Community because the author brings up very important topics, such as: • deafhood • deafness • life in visual reality • audism and cultural capital “Deaf epistemology relies heavily on personal testimonies, personal experiences, and personal accounts to document knowledge” The author believes that “deafness should be viewed in regard to the entire scope of the individual, not merely as a medical condition.” Deafhood acknowledges that ALL Deaf people embark on a journey towards deepening and refining their Deaf selves. Many are content to reside within the “boundaries” of existing Deaf cultures, yet some press on to stretch those boundaries.
