The Centre for Deaf Studies is delighted to welcome Colin Allen, President of the World Federation of the Deaf to Trinity College Dublin to deliver a lecture on Equality for Deaf People.

Equality for Deaf People celebrates the linguistic, artistic, social, political and cultural contributions and accomplishments of deaf people, focussing on recognition of sign languages and the rights of deaf people around the world. The presentation offers insights into the World Federation of the Deaf’s critical work towards achieving equality for deaf people based on the international treaty, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Doors will open from 6.30pm, lecture schedule to commence at 7pm. Times subject to change.
