Centre for Deaf Studies

Centre for Deaf Studies

Centre for Deaf Studies, based at Dublin Deaf Association, is a department of Trinity College Dublin set up in 2001 to promote the academic study of Deaf Studies in Ireland. It is supported by Irish Deaf Society who have campaigned for such a place for a long time.

The centre's main focus area is the Irish Sign Language. It offers diplomas on teaching and interpreting ISL, as well as a broader Diploma in Deaf Studies.

It is headed by Dr Lorraine Leeson.
