Some of the themes to be addressed in class will be: (i) the understanding and demand of Deaf Literature in the linguistic and poetic productions of deaf authors to promote widely the acquisition of their own knowledge inherent in cultural and linguistic identity; (ii) reflection on Human Rights Education for the Deaf (ie, the use of educational concepts and practices based on the principles of respect for human rights in the cultural and linguistic context to provide students who acquire the knowledge of rights inherent in respect, tolerance, cultural and linguistic acceptance as full citizens).
