The 1988 Deaf President Now (DPN) movement was a watershed moment in the history of the rights of deaf and hard of hearing people. The repercussions of DPN are still widely felt today not just in the United States but all over the world. In celebration of DPN week 2006, the I. King Jordan Lecture Series is proud to present a panel of Gallaudet scholars who will share their work and research on global deaf empowerment. The panel discussion will be held on Tuesday, March 7 at 11 a.m. in the Kellogg Conference Hotel’s Swindells Auditorium.
There will be opportunities for audience members to participate in a question and answer session following the presentation by the panelists.
Participants include:
- Dr. Sharon Barnartt - “An End to Passivity: Deaf People Protesting Around the World, 1970-2004”
- Dr. Cristina Berdichevsky - “Empowering Deaf Communities in Latin America”
- Ms. Goedele De Clerck - "Deaf Empowerment in Belgium and the Influence of DPN Spirit on Flemish Deaf People"
- Mr. Alvaro Jimenez - “Si, podemos!/Yes, we can! Promoting LSA (Argentine Sign Language) and the Success of Deaf People in Argentina”
- Dr. Yerker Andersson - panel moderator

Gallaudet University established the I. King Jordan Lecture Series to honor President Jordan’s many years of distinguished service at the University. One of the hallmarks of Dr. Jordan’s presidency has been his commitment to academic excellence. In recognition of his leadership in achieving excellence, speakers who have made outstanding contributions in their fields are being invited to address the Gallaudet community throughout this year. Local, national, and international scholars and leaders--including those from Gallaudet--will be part of this series.
