Hello everyone,

Please see the attached flyer for information on a talk next week by Seth Gore
and Steph Kent.

Seth is a senior at Gallaudet who wrote a fictional story, The Buzz Buzz Boom,
that Steph used in teaching a class on Interpersonal Communication. The hearing
students had a hard time recognizing that the lead character in Seth's story is
Deaf and was using ASL to talk with his girlfriend.

The presentation at Hampshire College, Thursday March 10, at 7 pm, will feature
Seth talking about how he came to write the story and how Seth has responded to
the hearing students' reactions. Steph will talk about the learning process that
the hearing students went through to learn about culture and language
differences.

Maybe we can all learn to pay more attention to the unfamiliar and unexpected?

The event will be interpreted in ASL and English.

Hope to see you there!
