Description: Lecture Brenda Jo Brueggemann, \"The Tango: What Deaf Studies and Disability Studies Do,\" part of the Edmund Lyon Memorial Lectureship Series, Thurs. March 11, 7 p.m. at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, 52 Lomb Memorial Drive, Henrietta. The talk will be in Room 1300 in the Student Development Center building (Building 55) at NTID. Free and open to the public with interpreters. Brueggemann will lecture on a theoretical and practical framework for outlining the similar and different work that Disability Studies and Deaf Studies do. She will focus on three areas of their doing: the \"locations\"(disciplinary alliances) of their \"study\"; the \"focus points\" of their (current) study/ies; and the \"key constructs\" that comprise each area of study. Although she will suggest that Disability Studies and Deaf Studies remain different bodies, she will also indicate how, especially in the last decade, they have often been dancing together in exciting, provocative, colorful steps. Brenda Jo Brueggemann is Professor of English at The Ohio State University where she coordinates the Disability Studies program, serves as a Faculty Leader for the American Sign Language program, and also administrates as the Vice-Chair of the English Department, overseeing the Rhetoric, Composition and Literacy (RCL) Program.
