Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

Week 13—Feeling our way

Week 13—Feeling our way

Main reading: Edwards (2023)

Ways of speaking and communicating are things we share with others. We have often emphasized the ways in which communication as a resource is unequally shared. This discussion of the experience of DeafBlind communication through touch helps to think about the phenomenal reality of communication itself and its implications for being in community.
