About
Welcome to KCLÂ British Sign Language (BSL)Â Society!
We are a society who aims to raise awareness of Deaf culture and British Sign Language, and build relationships between KCL students and the wider Deaf community.
Our awareness talks are at the core of what we do and involve external speakers from a range of different careers and backgrounds talking (usually in BSL) about their experiences as D/deaf or hard of hearing individuals.
As part of the various Liberation History Festivals (e.g. Black History Month, LGBT History Month) we aim to organise lectures exploring the intersectionality of being Deaf and a member of another minority group. All lectures are fully interpreted between BSL and spoken English.Â
We additionally run 'Introduction to BSL' courses that allow beginners to learn some basic conversational British Sign Language. The course consists of weekly group practice sessions led by more experienced KCL students. Lesson PowerPoints are made available and we do recap in each lesson so don't worry if you miss a session or decide to join us later!
