Gallaudet University Press

Gallaudet University, founded in 1864, is a multipurpose institution dedicated to meeting the educational needs of deaf people. Through the years, Gallaudet University has responded to emerging trends and issues related to deaf and hard of hearing people and the field of deafness. The University’s mission includes public outreach and advocacy, and it serves as an international resource for information about deafness and hearing loss. Gallaudet University Press was established in 1980 to respond to the need for worthy publications that make a significant contribution to the literature on deafness. The Press publishes scholarly manuscripts that deal with the many facets of the field of deafness, including culture, history, sociology, education, psychology, disability studies, sign language, linguistics, and research; biography by and about deaf adults; and works by deaf authors. Manuscripts accepted by the Press are published under one of two imprints: Gallaudet University Press (for scholarly, informational, and general interest books) and Clerc Books (for textbooks).
