Jami Fisher teaches at the Penn Global Seminar

A Penn Global Seminar on global deaf culture lead by Penn linguist Jami Fisher included visiting sites in Rome, Italy like Bernini’s Fontana dei Quatro Fiumi in Piazza Navona. Often, the group was led by a guide who was signing in Italian sign language. It gave the students a chance to experience what life is like not only for deaf people in general, but also a deaf community in another part of the world.
