programa de se\u00f1as americanas en la Universidad del Sur de Oreg\u00f3n? En una entrevista sobre el programa de ASL, el profesor de ASL Steve Wasserman comparte perspectivas sobre lo que hace \u00fanica a la cultura sorda y comunica los desaf\u00edos que enfrenta esta comunidad. Adicionalmente, analiza c\u00f3mo el programa ayuda a crear una plataforma para solucionar estos desaf\u00edos.<\/p>\n<p>La comunidad de ASL es \u00fanica por varias razones. A pesar de ser una de las minor\u00edas m\u00e1s grandes en los Estados Unidos, sigue siendo una de las m\u00e1s subrepresentadas en nuestra sociedad. Como menciona Wasserman, esta falta de comprensi\u00f3n puede deberse a que el 95% de los beb\u00e9s sordos nacen de padres oyentes, y para muchas personas, su primer encuentro con una persona sorda ocurre a trav\u00e9s de sus hijos sordos. Adem\u00e1s, el existente lenguaje de se\u00f1as universal es raramente usado , ya que los lenguajes de se\u00f1as evolucionan a partir de culturas y experiencias. Un ejemplo de esto es la se\u00f1a para &#8220;pelear&#8221;. En el Lenguaje de Se\u00f1as Americano (ASL), el gesto para &#8220;pelear&#8221; implica un pu\u00f1o, reflejando la correlaci\u00f3n cultural de luchar cuerpo a cuerpo. En contraste, la se\u00f1a para &#8220;pelear&#8221; en el Lenguaje de Se\u00f1as Japon\u00e9s utiliza los dedos, que representa la historia de luchas con espadas de Jap\u00f3n. Esta curiosidad cultural ilustra c\u00f3mo el ASL se forma por su contexto cultural y se adapta dependiendo de las diferencias.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando se le pregunt\u00f3 sobre los beneficios del programa, el profesor Wasserman coment\u00f3 que aprender ASL brinda exposici\u00f3n a un punto de vista y una cultura diferentes. Este es un punto clave de la entrevista, ya que, como describe Wasserman, la comunidad sorda representa un ejemplo \u00fanico de un grupo en nuestra sociedad que lucha por un mayor reconocimiento y apoyo en la escena p\u00fablica. Explica que la comunidad sorda est\u00e1 enormemente sub-representada y a menudo mal entendida, no solo por el p\u00fablico en general, sino tambi\u00e9n por los profesionales de la salud, quienes no comprenden lo que es vivir en un mundo de silencio. Al unirse al programa, los estudiantes aprenden sobre la cultura cooperativa de la comunidad sorda, en comparaci\u00f3n con la individualista de la cultura americana.<\/p>\n<p>Con 25 a\u00f1os como profesor de ASL en la Universidad del Sur de Oreg\u00f3n, el profesor Wasserman ha sido testigo del cambio y la evoluci\u00f3n del programa. Aunque el programa casi siempre alcanza su l\u00edmite de estudiantes, Steve nota que aunque el n\u00famero de estudiantes es similar, ha observado un aumento en los eventos extracurriculares que promueven la participaci\u00f3n con la comunidad sorda. Estas actividades incluyen escalada de roca, reuniones de caf\u00e9, patinaje sobre hielo y otros eventos centrados en la comunidad sorda organizados en el campus. Durante su tiempo como profesor, Steve ha adquirido conocimientos sobre el programa y la estructura de sus clases. Comparti\u00f3 que un aspecto en que se diferencia el programa de ASL de otros programas de artes es su capacidad para crear amistades profundas y relaciones significativas entre los estudiantes. Steve recuerda que, al final del programa, la mayor\u00eda de sus estudiantes han formado amistades fuertes que duran m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la vida universitaria. Wasserman revel\u00f3 que sus objetivos para la clase han evolucionado a lo largo de los a\u00f1os, y mientras que el aprendizaje del lenguaje sigue siendo la estructura principal, ha identificado un prop\u00f3sito a\u00fan mayor: formar aliados para la comunidad sorda, algo desesperadamente necesario. Esencialmente , espera cultivar una comunidad m\u00e1s unida e inclusiva a trav\u00e9s de la colaboraci\u00f3n, el entendimiento, las amistades y el conocimiento sobre la cultura sorda.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-36xho3y-68ba1602b89de677c83f1e8e6cdb2ad0\">\n.flex_cell.av-36xho3y-68ba1602b89de677c83f1e8e6cdb2ad0{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-36xho3y-68ba1602b89de677c83f1e8e6cdb2ad0{\npadding:0 50px 30px 30px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-36xho3y-68ba1602b89de677c83f1e8e6cdb2ad0 av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last '  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:18px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-m6b4q6xp-238421150b49e0f0dbd1a8544c9ad7c6 av-special-heading-h1 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  top-30 av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h1 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >American Sign Language at 麻豆传媒女神 with Steve Wasserman<\/h1><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-o8inse-abc0ffac8712f05709ac6984221c3790\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-o8inse-abc0ffac8712f05709ac6984221c3790 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-o8inse-abc0ffac8712f05709ac6984221c3790 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>By: Lorenzo Trejo De Dios<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m6b4xbug-49d475c5cc6986ed72bd646208ef9552\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-m6b4xbug-49d475c5cc6986ed72bd646208ef9552 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m6b4xbug-49d475c5cc6986ed72bd646208ef9552 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Have you ever wondered what it would be like to speak a language without saying a word? We chatted with 麻豆传媒女神 ASL professor Steve Wasserman to get his insights into what makes Deaf culture unique, and talk about the challenges faced by the Deaf community. Steve also shares how participating in the program can establish a meaningful platform to address these challenges within our society.<\/p>\n<p>The ASL community is unique for several reasons. Despite being a large minority group in the United States, and the third most commonly used language after English and Spanish, the ASL community remains as one of the most underrepresented communities socially in our society, often overlooked by mainstream American culture and its government. Professor Wasserman suggests that this lack of cultural understanding may arise because 95% of deaf babies are born to hearing parents, and for many, their first encounter with a Deaf individual is with their own child. Moreover, universal sign language is rarely used, as sign languages evolve from specific cultures and experiences. A compelling example is the sign for the word &#8220;fight.&#8221; In American Sign Language (ASL), the gesture involves a fist, reflecting the cultural association with hand-to-hand combat. In contrast, the Japanese Sign Language (JSL) sign for the word &#8220;fight&#8221; uses finger movements, rooted in Japan&#8217;s historical association with sword fighting. This cultural nuance illustrates how ASL, like other sign languages, is shaped by the culture of its country and adapts to its unique cultural context.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the benefits of taking classes in the program, Professor Wasserman emphasized that learning ASL provides exposure to a different point of view and culture. This is a key takeaway from the interview, as Wasserman emphasizes that the Deaf community serves as a unique example of a group within our society striving for greater mainstream recognition and support. By enrolling in the program&#8217;s classes, students also gain insight into Deaf culture, which Wasserman describes as a &#8220;cooperative culture&#8221; in contrast to the more individualistic nature of American culture.<\/p>\n<p>With 25 years of experience as an ASL professor at 麻豆传媒女神, Professor Wasserman has witnessed the program&#8217;s growth and evolution. Although ASL courses often reach their enrollment cap, Steve notes that despite similar attendance numbers, more extracurricular events that promote engagement with the Deaf community have been added. These activities include rock climbing, coffee meetups, ice skating, and other Deaf-centered events hosted on campus. During his time teaching, Wasserman has gained valuable insights into the program and his approach to orchestrating his classes. He shared that one aspect that sets the ASL program apart from other liberal arts programs is its ability to foster deep friendships and meaningful relationships among students. Wasserman recalls that by the end of the program, most of his students form strong bonds and friendships, often leaving the class with relationships that extend outside of university life. While teaching the language remains essential, Wasserman has also focused on building allies for the Deaf community, hoping to reduce biases and stigmas. Ultimately, he aims to cultivate a more inclusive society through understanding, collaboration, friendship, and knowledge of Deaf culture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div id='after_grid_row_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-95790'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/p>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2nj47im-2b8efc9d5ce28362ddce8be96dc72301 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_layout_row  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-211aeha-bd03ff8e20f3123e9f67f060e5944867 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m711ozx5-4776509c4481e5532a191d8cdd9071a1\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-m711ozx5-4776509c4481e5532a191d8cdd9071a1 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m711ozx5-4776509c4481e5532a191d8cdd9071a1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>For more information about opportunities brought by the Spanish &amp; ASL program, please visit their <a href=\"\/academics\/spanish\/\">website<\/a>.
