Description:
The summer school is open to master students, graduate students or junior researchers who already have familiarity with sign language research but are not trained in formal linguistics and to students at the same level who are trained in formal linguistics but are not yet familiar with sign language linguistics. In order for the two groups of students to work fruitfully together in the classroom, a list of preparatory readings will be provided before the summer school starts. The summer school is residential and will meet on the scenic island of San Servolo in Venice.

The languages of the Summer School will be English and ASL/IS. Interpreting between ASL/IS and English will be provided.

15 bursaries (300 EUROs each) are made available by the SignGram Action to cover the cost of accommodation and meals during the stay on San Servolo island (students are expected to check-in on June, 5 and check-out on June 9 from the facilities on the island). The reimbursement of the bursary will be done within 3 months after the summer school is over.
