Spring 2026 Part of Term 1

Part of Term 1
Jan 20-May 6
deaf*- In/Around Art + Communication

Credit: 4 hours.

Graduate examination of deaf*—a term to describe a multiplicity of non-normative experiences, vantages, and epistemologies in/around aurality, orality, communication, listening, and beyond— is emergent, speculative, re: generative, and horizontal (of/towards the sensorium’s horizon). This course will explore, chart, apply, and expand upon deaf* creative/critical methodologies through a combination of theoretical, practical, and historical modes.

May be repeated in separate terms up to 8 hours.

Section Title:
Crip Cap - Exp Text/Voice/Film
Section Info:
Cripistemological Captions: Experimental Text, Voice, and Film engages the work of artists, writers, filmmakers, and other cultural practitioners that have reconceptualized captions (open, closed, or otherwise) via creatively and critically cripped methodologies. Through a combination of theoretical, practical, and historical modalities, this course will experiment with how captioning can be pushed far beyond the bottom third of a video/film work and into exhibition spaces, print/book projects, and installation practices—developing linkages between captioning, museum signage, graphic design, creative writing, mark making, and creative accessibility specializations.
