CEUs: 0.2 PS
Presenter: Ben Jarashow
Presented in: ASL
Format: Archived Webinar
Occasionally, a deaf character will make an appearance in a Hollywood film, whether played by a deaf or hearing actor, and for the deaf community, it’s an exciting thing. Or is it? For this workshop, we will take a closer look at how accurately the characters are represented, common stereotypes and misconceptions sent across by the characters, and more. We will start with some of the earliest movies ever produced and as we go forward in time, we will compare the characters and unmask the ideological cycle that has impacted all of the deaf characters in our history of films.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will be able to identify Deaf actors and Deaf roles within Hollywood films.
- Participants will be able to describe common stereotypes and misconceptions related to Deaf characters.
- Participants will be able to describe the ideological cycle within Hollywood films and its impact on Deaf characters.
