The Deaf Studies Today! conference is a professional, academic conference that brings together the brightest
minds and latest thinking within the interdisciplinary field of Deaf Studies. Deaf Studies Today! and the ASL & Deaf Studies program at Utah Valley University will host a mini-conference
for UVU students and those willing to join UVU students for a single day event Friday,
April 13, 2018. For information on the mini-conference, check back here often for
updates on keynote speakers, registration, and more.
Running from 2004 to 2014 the biennial Deaf Studies Today! conference quickly became the primary site for the exchange of information and thinking
for anyone interested in Deaf Studies. The conference has also become an important
cultural "place" where Deaf people gather to create, renew and maintain relationships.
After a four year break, Deaf Studies Today! is returning with a mini-conference in 2018 and will soon announce the date for the
next international conference in 2020!
