Now offered as a minor, the study of ASL at Cornell came about through years of student advocacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask Mollie Tashlik \u201926 what her favorite word in American Sign Language is, and she\u2019ll reply: \u201csurprise.\u201d And she\u2019ll demonstrate, closing her eyes and quickly bringing her hands up on either side of her head, using her thumbs and forefingers to frame her face and then opening her eyes in sudden, dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cASL is a very interactive language,\u201d observes Tashlik, a human development major in Human Ecology who\u2019s currently enrolled in a second-level class. \u201cOne of the first things you learn is that even if you\u2019re not the one who\u2019s communicating, you\u2019re using your body to be like, \u2018I\u2019m paying attention.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASL is thriving on the Hill, with course offerings on the rise for the past several years. More than 20 classes are now offered, enrolling some 350 students in 2023\u201324, says Brenda Schertz, coordinator of the ASL\/Deaf Studies Program<\/a> in Arts & Sciences\u2019 linguistics department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An academic minor in the subject was added in 2023, and in early May 2024, Cornell hosted its first-ever ASL symposium, celebrating the first five years of the ASL\/Deaf Studies Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ASL curriculum starts with basic grammar, vocabulary, and conversational techniques and expands to cover Deaf culture and social justice issues; the Deaf genre in literature, art, film, and theater; media representation of Deaf people; and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany students begin with a fascination with the kinetic properties of the language,\u201d says Schertz, a senior lecturer and one of three faculty members who teach ASL classes. \u201cBut as they learn it, they also learn its culture and history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The class that Tashlik has been taking, led by teaching associate Matilda Prestano, is full immersion, with no talking allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to be able to communicate in this wordless way,\u201d says Tashlik. \u201cThere\u2019s always laughing and joy in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really nice to be able to communicate in this wordless way.<\/p>\nMollie Tashlik \u201926<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As Prestano explains, ASL has its own rules for word order and conjugation; the signer\u2019s body language, expression, and emphasis\u2014as well as visual feedback and active attention from the \u201clistener\u201d\u2014are just as important as the individual words themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnglish is very linear, word after word after word,\u201d observes bio major Cyan Crayton \u201925. \u201cBut with ASL you use your face, there\u2019s the location of the sign, the hand shape\u2014all these things factor into the sign itself. And I think that\u2019s really beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornell\u2019s plethora of ASL offerings trace their roots to 2012\u2014and, in many ways, to the efforts of Jackie Rachaf \u201914, then a sophomore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachaf had taken ASL courses elsewhere, and perceived a dearth of resources for Deaf people in the Ithaca area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she founded the Cornell University Deaf Awareness Project (CUDAP) with the aim of bringing ASL courses to campus and making it a recognized language in the Arts & Sciences curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For context, Rachaf explains that back then, only one Ivy (UPenn) had an advanced ASL curriculum\u2014despite it being the third most commonly taught non-English language at U.S. colleges and universities, after Spanish and French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She and others in CUDAP began meeting with faculty, advocated for the curricular additions, and circulated a petition to bring ASL courses to Cornell while also organizing events like weekly signing choirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group also brought Deaf artists to the Hill and led an Alternative Breaks trip to volunteer with an organization that supports Deaf people who are incarcerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe attracted a wide variety of students who were curious to learn more,\u201d she says, \u201cand who helped instill a respect for the language and the culture on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, Arts & Sciences began allowing ASL to fulfill the college\u2019s foreign language requirement; the first two ASL courses offered during regular semesters were launched the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUDAP has since become the ASL Club at Cornell<\/a>, which offers get-togethers, movie nights, and occasional field trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government major Halle Swasing \u201924, the club\u2019s co-president, took her first ASL class to fill the college\u2019s language requirement. She has taken another every semester since, and is graduating this year with the new minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was really cool to not only be learning a language,\u201d she says, \u201cbut also learning about this whole community of people who have their own art, literature, poetry, and humor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
