It incorporates animated ASL, which I haven't seen before.
Deaf stuff: March 2005 Archives
Kathy sends this link to Nassira Nicola's thesis Signs of Conflict: Language, Power, and Bilingual Deaf Education in Montreal.
I say, hey! congrats Nicola! I'm not a livejournal member (yet) so can't comment on your site, but have downloaded your paper and will even read it one of these days...
Interesting NCA paper, on Reading Identity Politics through Marx.
Critique of Althusser and also of Foucault: A Lover's Discourse: Using French Social Thought for Media Criticism.
The conference was fantabulous. But I am toast! The hosts, Direct Learn Online Conferencing did a tremendous job. So did all of the presenters and participants.
Some links:
Center for Excellence for the Study of Sign Language Interpreting at RIT.
International Congress on Education of the Deaf
There are more that were posted in the actual papers, I'll dig 'em all out and post them here soon.
Now, I'm off to the gym and then a yummy Mexican dinner - my reward!
Supporting Deaf People Online has been pretty much taking up my entire life the last three days, but it's pretty cool. Anne and I have a lot of fascinating discourse to think about.
One downside is fewer deaf participants than I remember from last year. :-( Really thought there would be more.
BUT - the collegial environment and quality of discussion has been, I think, phenomenal. I'm really pleased we were able to present, and quite satisfied with the result. I think I even made some new friends! Always a happy thing. :-)
The hosts of DeafNation say 1.1 million viewerswatched parts of the 20th Deaflympic Games held this past January in Melbourne.
(I really like the logo.) :-)
The 21st Deaflympics will be in Utah in 2007. And it looks the 2009 Games will be in Taipei.
