Visual and Haptic Self-Monitoring During Sign Production Status: Ongoing Begin date: October 2003 End date: No set date Principal Investigator(s): Barac-Cikoja, Dragana – Gallaudet Research Institute A-44 Other Investigator(s): Hill, Joseph (student) – Linguistics Description: The role of the visual feedback during sign production was experimentally investigated in native and novice signers. Experimentally altered visual feedback was provided to signers via a pair of goggles that displayed a camera view of them from different vantage points. Connected sign utterances were elicited using either the pictures of arranged objects or videos of a person describing those pictures in ASL and were recorded for later analysis. Errors in scene description and changes in linguistic aspects of sign were analyzed in relation to the nature of the visual feedback available during sign production. In addition, some of the recorded utterances were used to investigate whether the observers who were naïve to the conditions of signing could perceive changes in sign quality due to the altered visual feedback.

French Primary School Moral and Civic Instruction Textbooks, 1900–1914 Status: Ongoing Begin date: September 2008 End date: September 2009 Principal Investigator(s): Bergen, Barry – Government and History Description: The investigator will travel to France in October and November 2008 to do additional research on primary school moral and civics textbooks from the period 1900 to 1914 to add to his completed work on textbooks from 1870 to 1900 in his book manuscript, Molding Citizens: Culture, Class and Primary Education in France, 1870–1914, for Northern Illinois University Press. Evidence will be combined from this new research with that in his completed chapter to produce an article covering the moral and civics textbooks for the entire period from 1870 to 1914. Funding source: GRI Small Grant The Impact of Education Reforms and Juvenile Programs on French Deaf Youth, 1936–1945 Status: Ongoing Begin date: January 2008 End date: No set date Principal Investigator(s): Ryan, Donna F. – Government and History Description: Major political and social revolutions often target youth as critical agents for future transformation. From 1936 to 1945, enormous changes were envisioned for France, including the attempted socialist and communist reforms of the Popular Front (1936–1938). This was followed by the right-wing revolution that came to power in the aftermath of the 1940 defeat—the Vichy government of Marshal Philippe Pétain. Each intended revolution had its own plans for education, youth service corps, and physical fitness as well as solutions for the social problems that contributed to teenage delinquency. Effects of these programs on deaf students, or the personnel of the deaf schools, has not been studied. The investigator undertook research to determine how these movements for educational reform, juvenile justice, youth organizations and physical recreation, and the cult of Marshal Pétain were presented in the schools for the deaf, especially at the Institut National des Jeunes Sourds in Paris. The degree to which these phenomena were present or absent in deaf education can reveal a great deal about attitudes towards deaf or disabled people, which in turn elucidates much about French notions of citizenship and inclusion of those considered to be the “Other.” A two-month research trip to France was undertaken where primary research was begun to determine the effect of these policies on deaf youth. Significant time was spent combing inventories and cartons of documents for information on education of deaf students at Archives Nationales de France in Paris (series F60). Work continued at the archives of the Institut National des Jeunes Sourds for this period. During the last few years, many cartons of documents for the war years, including administrative records and all individual student dossiers, have been organized and made available. This spring several of these cartons were in transit to another location and temporarily A-45
