About Institutional Repositories
Usually, institutional repositories (IRs) bring together all of a University's research under one umbrella, with an aim to preserve and provide access to that research.
IRs typically are an excellent vehicle for working papers or copies of published articles and conference papers. Presentations, senior theses, and other works not published elsewhere can also be published in the IR.
With IDA@Gallaudet, the goal is to marry historical context with present-day research by including digital archival collections. We hope eventually to trace the evolution of the signing ecosystem through a historical framework that supports students' sense of belonging while enabling greater innovation by encouraging knowledge and learning across the lifespan in both ASL and English.
Because ASL--Gallaudet's native language--is such a visual language, we envision that IDA will take on a strongly visual character through the use of video, images, and complex digital objects that weave historical narratives from the early 19th Century with current research.
With this unique approach, we will be able to learn the deep background of deaf cultures and signed languages throughout the world while chronicling the changes sweeping through deaf communities in response to rapid technological changes that increase accessibility, connectivity, and creativity--many of which were and continue to be developed by deaf people.
We encourage faculty members and students to submit their work to this repository, both to preserve their efforts and to provide a framework on which future scholars can build.

Signed Language Interpretation and Translation Research
Selected papers from the first international symposium.
- Share this book
This first-of-its-kind volume contains ten papers from the 2013 International Symposium on Signed Language Interpreting and Translation Research that document current research on critical areas in interpretation and translation studies. The contributors cover topics ranging from the need for Deaf perspectives in interpretation research to discourse strategies and techniques that are unique to video relay call settings, and more.
Description
This volume brings together the best research presented at the first International Symposium on Signed Language Interpreting and Translation Research. Editors Brenda Nicodemus and Keith Cagle have gathered an international group of contributors who are recognized leaders in signed language interpreter education and research.
The ten papers in Signed Language Interpretation and Translation Research cover a range of topics, including the need for Deaf perspectives in interpretation research, discourse strategies and techniques that are unique to video relay call settings, the benefits of using sociology as a lens for examining sign language interpreting work, translating university entrance exams from written Portuguese into Libras (Brazilian Sign Language), the linguistic choices interpreters make when interpreting ASL figurative language into English, the nature of designated interpreting, and grammatical ambiguity in trilingual VRS interpreting. The research findings and insights contained here will be invaluable to scholars, students, and practitioners.
Brenda Nicodemus is an associate professor in the Department of Interpretation and director of the Interpretation & Translation Research Center at Gallaudet University.
Keith Cagle is associate professor and BAI Program coordinator in the Department of Interpretation at Gallaudet University.
"The chapters selected, and their organization, make for a well-organized and coherent read with a broad appeal, making this book a good addition to the curricula of interpreter preparation programs and the personal libraries of working interpreters as well." — Barbara Shaffer, Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education
"This, I would suggest, is the key value of the volume: it is accessible, and it inspires discussion and debate." — Lorraine Leeson, Interpreting
"One of the collection's strengths is that it draws attention to a number of 'hot topics' in the field." — Graham H. Turner, The Interpreters' Newsletter
"A strength across the studies [presented in this volume] is the use of multiple methods to address research questions: Most studies included objective analysis of interpreted texts complemented by participant reflection on interpreting process or impacts, or they include perspectives from more than one set of participants. In each case this enriches insight on the topic, informing readers about not only about conditions and products of interpreting/translating, but also about processes of interpreter metacognition and how contextual factors (outside of texts) contribute to interpretation outcomes." — Rachel McKee, International Journal of Interpreter Education

Research Agenda
- National Deaf Education Center
- Evaluation and Research
The Research Agenda is intended to guide research activities that are aligned with the Clerc Center’s Strategic Plans (CCSPs) in accordance with the requirements of the Education of the Deaf Act ( Education of the Deaf Act of 1986 , 2015, Pub. L. 99-371, 100 Stat. 781).
- Public input data collected during FYs 2017-2019
- Gaps identified in research literature
- Priorities identified by the Clerc Center’s two schools (Kendall Demonstration Elementary School and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf)
The research priorities are also aligned with the Gallaudet Promise as well as the CCSP priorities for the nation.
- Address gaps and needs in deaf education and research
- Advance knowledge about best practices, curricula, intervention strategies, and resources for families of deaf and hard of hearing children (birth through high school) and those who work with them
The Research Agenda focuses on three priority areas:
Supporting Families of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
Recent evidence (e.g., research literature searches, public input findings, professional knowledge, families’ anecdotes) reveals a persistent gap in and a need for evidence-informed research and resources specifically designed for families of deaf and hard of hearing children from birth through adolescence. This research priority is aligned with the new CCSP priorities #1 (Knowledge Development–Early Intervention) and #2 (Knowledge Development–K-12).
Strengthening Professional Knowledge and Practice
Professionals in different fields work with deaf and hard of hearing children from birth through high school and their families. Their professional knowledge and experience in specific areas of practice (e.g. equity, virtual teaching, learning) ranges from being a novice to an expert.
Professionals need evidence-informed teaching, learning, and professional practices to better respond to and meet the needs of deaf and hard of hearing children and K-12 students, as well as those of their students’ families, in a rapidly changing world that is increasingly dependent on technology. Research priorities are aligned with the Clerc Center’s priorities identified for Knowledge Development–Early Intervention and Knowledge Development–K-12 (CCSP priorities #1 and #2) and its two schools’ strategic plan priorities: 1) reading, writing, and American Sign Language, and 2) math.
Advancing Equity Through Research
Equity-focused research about deaf and hard of hearing children and their families is a significant gap in deaf education and research. This priority seeks to advance equity in research in two ways:
- Transform research and evaluation practices to incorporate equitable practices drawing from equity-focused research (e.g., Andrews, Parekh, & Peckoo, 2019).
- Support and/or lead research about equity for deaf and hard of hearing children from birth through high school and/or their families.
Andrews, K., Parekh, J., & Peckoo, S. (2019). How to embed a racial and ethnic equity perspective in research: Practical guidance for the research process . A Child Trends Working Paper.
Scope of the Research Agenda
The scope of the Clerc Center’s Research Agenda entails two different types of research projects:
- Applied research led by the Clerc Center and its collaborative partners (e.g., other programs and organizations) to address significant knowledge gaps and needs of deaf and hard of hearing children from birth, their families, and the professionals who work with them
- Cooperative research opportunities with external research partners leading a range of research activities that are aligned with priority research topics; while not involved in the research design, the Clerc Center agrees to support participant recruitment and external data collection
