Stories of Deaf Returned Peace Corps Volunteers is a short documentary produced by Gideon Firl, ‘21, who started his internship at the Schuchman Center before the pandemic and completed the film while working remotely. The 14-minute film uses images from Deaf Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) and interview clips filmed in 2011 by Elizabeth Sorkin. The film highlights the relationships between Peace Corps Volunteers and communities they served, as well as the reciprocal learning that took place.

Deaf life during the pandemic was the subject of a May 12, 2020 panel discussion hosted by the Center. Five Deaf New Yorkers: Roxanna Aguilo, Carlos Aponte-Salcedo, Jr., Patrice Creamer, Marina Fanshteyn, and Alexandria Pucciarelli-Miller shared cultural, physical and access issues. The panelists, one from each NYC borough, responded to questions from Gallaudet History major and soon-to-be graduate student Brianna DiGiovanni, '20. The 1 hour panel is online here.
This panel was part of a documentation effort that received major support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (Grant # - ZH-252962) and ZVRS/Purple. Additional support came from the Gary S. & Margaret D. Anderson Family Foundation, the Kantor Foundation, the Hebrew Association of the Deaf, Union League of the Deaf, and numerous individuals.
