SOURCES: DO NOT USE

Marschark, Marc, Harry G. Lang, and John A. Albertini. Educating Deaf Students: From Research to
Practice. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2002. Print.
With dramatic changes in deaf education over the past 30 years, this book considers what we
now know, what we do not know, and what we should know about the education of deaf
students. Taking a developmental perspective, the authors look first at the history of deaf
education, and then at education as it begins at home and in the classroom, encompassing
discussion about reading, American Sign Language, and school choice they clearly evaluate
deaf education, explaining complex information in a way that is useful to a wide range of
readers involved in deaf education, from parents and day care providers to elementary, highschool, and college teachers and other education professionals
(http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/educating-deaf-students-marcmarschark/1100501204?ean=9780195121391). I was going to use this as a foundational source,
but found the information to be facts I already knew a good deal about; while it was published
in the early 2000s, I found a different source that offered current information on the same
topics.
Jordan, I. King. "The Gallaudet Experience: Deafness and Disability." PMLA 120.2 (2005): 62527. JSTOR. Web. 24 Mar. 2014. http://www.jstor.org/stable/25486197. Jordans article, gives a
brief history on Gallaudet University, and how since its establishment, it has provided complete
accommodations to its deaf and hard-of hearing students, especially through events such as the
Deaf President Now movement and the passing of the ADA. He states that For deaf and hardof-hearing students to truly experience what those who can hear do, we must think about how
to provide services in a way that treats the deaf person as a student, not as a mere learning
machine whose needs are contained by the four walls of a classroom (627). While this article
did offer some useful information, it does not fit any category of my thesis because it is mainly a
surface article, that does not offer much depth.

The coming-of-age story of Biney Richmond, who is hard of hearing. The text tells of Bineys
parents struggle with their daughters hearing loss as they try to protect her and keep her
safe by doing everything for her. Everyone, it seems, in 13-going-on-14-year-old Biney
Richmonds life treats her as though she should be wrapped in cotton and set on a shelf. Her
mom and dad act as though she cant do things for herself. The only one who seems to have any
confidence in her is her best friend Pat. (back of book) I plan to use this text for my thesis as
another example of similar experiences I have gone through, but also to point out that many
deaf and hard of hearing people have similar experiences. I also plan to examine what point of

view it takes (1st or 3rd person) and compare it to other texts I have read to see if there is a
pattern with this type of literature.
Siebers, Tobin. "Disability Aesthetics." PMLA 120.2 (2005): 542-46. JSTOR. Web. 04 Apr. 2014.
Good art incorporates disabilityit is often the presence of disability that allows the beauty of
an artwork to endure (543). Siebers article discusses how beauty in art has often incorporated
disability, and how good art is often made by those who have disabilities. He proves this by
giving the example of Paul McCarthy and Judith Scott, both of who are artists and who have
disabilities. I would use this in my thesis as part of the social component, but also as an artistic
one, to compare with the production of Tribes.
Brueggemann, Brenda Jo. "Deaf, She Wrote: Mapping Deaf Women's Autobiography." PMLA 120.2
(2005): 577-83. JSTOR. Web. 24 Mar. 2014. http://www.jstor.org/stable/25486187.
Brueggemanns article discusses the three types of identity, Deafness, being Female, and
writing. She uses the accounts of three womenEmmanuelle Laborit, Teresa de Cartagena, and
Anne Bolanderall of whom are deaf and all of whom became writers, to show the struggles
still faced within the three identities. The author argues that all three identities are important,
but out of the three, being a woman was the most important as that identity had the largest
struggle over time. This article fits with my thesis as it discusses both identity in general, and
how it applies to being deaf and a writer, which would connect to the societal and literary
components of my thesis.
Davis, Julia M. Our Forgotten Children: Hard of Hearing Pupils in the Schools. Washington, DC: Office of
Special Institutions, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, U.S. Department of
Education, 1990. Print.
A guide for both teachers and administrators on the education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing
students. The text also provides guidance tips and support services for the school personnel,
and stresses the importance of teacher training. One of the chapters emphasizes mainstreamed
education for this group. I might use this as a source because it presents itself from the
administrative side of education, which is a viewpoint I had not thought of including before.
Jepson, Jill Christine. No Walls of Stone: An Anthology of Literature by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Writers.
Washington, D.C.: Gallaudet UP, 1992. Print.
A collection of poetry, drama, short stories, and essays by both Deaf and Hard of Hearing writers
on their experiences with hearing loss. This volume presents a rich variety of superb work by
such well-known authors as Robert Panara, Anne McDonald, David Wright, and Jack Clemo, and
exciting contributions by other previously unpublished, gifted writers
(http://gupress.gallaudet.edu/2855.html). I would use this as a source because of the fact that
the authors are d/Deaf and Hard of hearing themselves, which makes for the best
representation of that population. It would also give me personal insight as to how to write
about my own hearing loss and in a way, become a writer on disability.
