The Hidden Treasures of Black ASL

by: Carolyn McCaskill, Ceil Lucas, Robert Baylet & Joseph Hill

Join this rich discussion on the linguistic variation of Black ASL.  Recognized for years as a distinct form of sign language, this book formalizes the study of its sociohistorical origins, the features that distinguish it, and the strong culture & community that keeps it alive in the community.

Upon registration, an invitation to join the closed discussion group and RID paperwork for CEUs.  Participants must purchase their own book (available at any book seller, Kindle & library loan). There is no specific time participants need to be on-line. Weekly reflections are posted at the pace of the reader.
