    An interdisciplinary seminar for juniors and seniors, Deaf Performance Culture will engage students in the key concepts and debates of Deaf Studies as well as the richness and resonance of visual-centric theatre and Deaf performance artistry. Student will explore the literature, research, and creative works of artists and scholars (both Deaf and hearing) to consider the complex intersections of language and aesthetics, culture and theatre. Students will also examine the social, political, and medical, influences of audism on 'audience', and will delve into the profound influence of the '(Dis)ability label', (often assigned to deafness), including its past and present impact on cultural perceptions, performers, and power. Intended for artists and non-artists alike, participants will participate in lively dialogue and also create their own visual-centric theatre projects, integrating critical and creative methods.

(NB: As this will require significant outside lecture/class time hours for travel and rehearsal, please ensure schedule availability before enrollment or consult with professor.)

Each student will be required to keep two separate composition notebooks according to fairly specific rules ('Ders Defteri' for exercises, 'Gramer Defteri' for grammar review - separate instructions will be provided). Students will have opportunities to practice their speaking skills with a native speaker TA.

    This course introduces students to the discipline of women's and gender studies. We will explore the broadly and critically defined "genealogies" of women's studies and investigate the key concepts, theoretical debates, ideologies, and historical significance of the discipline. Learning and borrowing from Sophocles to Mary Wollstonecraft to Virginia Woolf to Audre Lorde, we, in a self-reflexive manner, attempt to construct a theoretical framework that will be helpful, productive, and challenging to our intellectual and practical pursuit of a juster world in which both women and men can celebrate themselves and each other. In this endeavor, special emphases will be given to the issues of violence, militarism, human rights, sexuality and body, labor, domesticity, and social activism. The investigation of these issues will be put in the context of related, but distinct, intellectual interrogations of race, class, nationality, ethnicity, and sexual orientations in the disciplines of cultural studies, race theory, postcolonial studies, and gay/lesbianstudies.

    This course will examine a variety of feminist theories--from eighteenth and nineteenth century writers such as Wollstonecraft and Mill through the radical feminist discourse of Ti-Grace Atkinson and Shulamith Firestone to contemporary writers and activists. The class will focus on central and recurring debates within feminist theory and practice: debates between essentialism and social constructionism; between liberal reformism and radical transformation; between the politics of sameness and the politics of difference. We will also examine how feminist theories have attempted to reckon with the challenges of poststructuralism and the critiques offered by women of color. The intersections of race/ethnicity and class with the category of gender will also offer a central analytic strand throughout the course. Fall. Prerequisite:    WGST 140-01 Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies or permission of instructor
