Abstract
For my Honors Project I created Hands That Speak, a visual installation of media in the College of Arts and Sciences on the 3rd floor. I designed this visual installation to introduce the students and staff at the University of Akron to Deaf culture, ASL (American Sign Language), and the significance that Gallaudet University has in both of those things. The installation brings together my own education in ASL and Deaf culture from the University of Akron, and my personal experience going to Gallaudet University, and puts it into a multimedia visual display that's easy for the community at the University of Akron to look at and digest as they walk by. This is in the hopes that readers passing by will understand more about the Deaf community and the barriers that they continue to face. This paper summarizes the purpose of my project, why I chose this topic, the experience of completing it, and the academic impact it has had on my learning all while taking you through the project's contents.
