Decline of Deaf Clubs - Ch. 10
Deaf Clubs
deaf schools - good place for deaf children
children were surrounded by deaf adults and socialized with other deaf kids
Deaf clubs were at their peak during 1940s-1950s
some clubs were so successful they bought their own buildings
there are limited spaces that deaf people can claim as their own
Deaf people had total control of how clubs were run
Deaf clubs were safe spaces
today, very few clubs remain and members are usually elderly
conclusion
Deaf clubs will enhance Deaf culture and Deafhood
Deaf people need more access to spaces to congregate w/ each other.
a return of Deaf clubs may help bring Deaf communities back together
The decline of Deaf Clubs
in-person events are best/ideal because ASL is a highly visual language
at their peak, most major cities had popular and steady Deaf clubs
Deaf clubs however, were segregated. Both white and Black deaf people had their own clubs
Europe has also seen a decline, but not as dramatic as the U.S.
Deaf Clubs today
online spaces are temporary and not ideal at all
technology was thought to be the cause for decline but that is a myth
jobs / job availability played a big role in the decline of Deaf clubs
it was thought that online platforms would help with Deaf clubs
