An interdisciplinary project dedicated to Deaf Studies.

Researching the Deaf Community (RDC) is an interdisciplinary project as part of the Deaf and Voiced programme at GES-2 House of Culture. The project contributes to the development of Deaf Studies, which is a new discipline for Russia, as well helping to further fundamental and applied research into the problems faced by the d/Deaf community today with particular focus on Deaf culture, sign language, education and the identity of individuals in the d/Deaf community.

Success of the project, which is centred on current social and cultural concepts of deafness, would not be possible without the involvement of both people who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing, and also of like-minded people who are not deaf. We are open to cooperation with educational and cultural institutions, as well as public organisations and initiative groups.

Curator
Vlad Kolesnikov is curator of programmes for the deaf community and accessibility for the deaf and hard of hearing at GES-2.
