| Abstract: | During the summer of 2022, Ashley Greene, a professor at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, and a co-author of this article, began a discussion on American Sign Language (ASL) literature with her doctoral students. The students, most of whom had backgrounds in K-12 deaf education or ASL education, explored what ASL literature means, how such literature can be identified and classified, how technology has changed its nature, and how it can be used in the classroom. The discussion was not easy, and a consensus was not reached. Pauline Ballentine, a long-time teacher and researcher and coauthor of this article, was among Greene's students. After several weeks of daily discussion, we--teacher and doctoral students, all of whom helped author this piece--concluded that the problem lies partly with the educational system. |
