and AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAM
cordially invite you to
A READING & CONVERSATION
with co-author Marla C. Berkowitz
ASL Senior Lecturer at Ohio State
Crane Café, Hagerty Hall
4PM, Wednesday, January 21, 2015
This is the first book to consider both deaf and hearing perspectives on the dynamics of adult sibling relationships. Deaf and hearing authors Berkowitz and Jonas conducted interviews with 22 adult siblings, using ASL and spoken English, to access their intimate thoughts. A major feature of the book is its analysis of how isolation impacts deaf-hearing sibling relationships. The book documents the 150 year history of societal attitudes embedded in sibling bonds and
identifies how the siblings' lives were affected by the communication choices their parents made.
