This is a complex series consisting of 10 boxes. This series provides an excellent kaleidoscope of various debates in the deaf community- ASL versus English, education methods, the validity of ASL as a language, linguistics, culture and community issues. This series contains several various list-serv e-mails. One note: the e-mails are organized by subject line such as Bi-Bi Education or Cochlear Implant Nurse. However, these subject lines do not convey accurately the contents or subject of the e-mail.
