Students at UConn are doing fascinating and rigorous humanities and social science research on subjects they are passionate about. Kanny, one of our undergraduate fellows this year, is a great example of that.
“For a long time, manual languages were banned in white schools. You weren’t allowed to teach deaf children how to sign. They would need to learn to speak or use oral language as well. But the rules were different in Black schools, where Black children had a space to learn sign language and practice signing because their education wasn’t given the same attention as white students.” With an undergraduate research fellowship from the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute, Kanny Salike ('26 CLAS) is tracing the co-evolution of African American English (AAE) and Black American Sign Language (BASL). https://lnkd.in/e_cVCvra

Today’s read: UCHI Director Anna Mae Duane on childhood, labor, capitalism, and the TV show Severance.
