For fellow educational scholars, here is an excellent resource called the Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC) which provides educators valuable resources in all levels of the education process. For many of us scholars, especially women and more so women with disabilities, we face many more challenges than the rest. Here is a great site on  women in higher education.

In addition, I have been to France and lectured  at the ATHAREP Conference at L'universite d'Orsay in March 1998, in Orsay, France on the topic of disability policy. 
Here is a site on  disability organizations in France . I had also toured the Il de France area and  Paris and Versailles, the palace of Louis XIV, the Sun King. France has a wonderful caring culture, always willing to assist me, when needed. I hope to return to France and visit  Lyon, France

                   en francaise
            Allons enfants de la Patrie,
           Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
           Contre nous de la tyrannie ! 
         L'étendard sanglant est levé (bis)
 
        Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes
            Mugir ces féroces soldats?
         Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras. 
         Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes!
 
                    Refrain
              Aux armes citoyens, 
              Formez vos bataillons
 
              Marchons, marchons
 
               Qu'un sang impur
 
               Abreuve nos sillons
 
                       
                          1
         Que veut cette horde d'esclaves,
 
          De traîtres, de rois conjurés?
 
          Pour qui ces ignobles entraves
 
       Ces fers dès longtemps préparés?(bis)
       Français, pour nous, ah! quel outrage
 
         Quels transports il doit exciter?
 
           C'est nous qu'on ose méditer
 
         De rendre à l'antique esclavage!
 
                  (au Refrain)
 
                       
                       2
          
             Quoi ces cohortes étrangères!
 
          Feraient la loi dans nos foyers!
 
         Quoi ! ces phalanges mercenaires
 
       Terrasseraient nos fils guerriers!(bis)
 
       Grand Dieu! par des mains enchaînées
 
       Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient
 
          De vils despotes deviendraient
 
            Les maîtres des destinées.
 
                  (au Refrain)
 
                       3
         Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides
 
          L'opprobre de tous les partis,
 
         Tremblez ! vos projets parricides
 
        Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix!(bis)
 
       Tout est soldat pour vous combattre,
 
          S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros,
 
        La France en produit de nouveaux,
 
         Contre vous tout prêts à se battre
 
                  (au Refrain)
 
                       4
          Français, en guerriers magnanimes
          Portez ou retenez vos coups!
 
          Épargnez ces tristes victimes,
 
          A regret s'armant contre nous (bis)
 
          Mais ces despotes sanguinaires,
 
          Mais ces complices de Bouillé,
 
          Tous ces tigres qui, sans pitié,
 
          Déchirent le sein de leur mère!
 
                  (au Refrain)
 
                       5
          Nous entrerons dans la carrière
 
         Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus,
 
         Nous y trouverons leur poussière 
          Et la trace de leurs vertus (bis)
 
         Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre
 
          Que de partager leur cercueil,
 
          Nous aurons le sublime orgueil
 
          De les venger ou de les suivre!
 
                  (au Refrain)
 
                       6
            Amour sacré de la Patrie,
 
        Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs
 
             Liberté, Liberté chérie
 
        Combats avec tes défenseurs !(bis)
 
         Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire
 
           Accoure à tes mâles accents
 
            Que tes ennemis expirants
 
        Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!
 
                  (au Refrain)
 
               
                    traduction en anglaise
                           
              
              Come on, children of the motherland,
              The day of glory has arrived!
              Against us, full of tyranny!
 
              The bloody sword is raised (twice)
 
              Do you hear in our countryside
 
              Those ferocious soldiers barking?
              They come upto your arms
              Slaughter your sons, your countryside!
                          Chorus
              To arms, citizens,
 
              Form your batallions
 
              March on, march on
 
              Let an impure blood
 
              Soak our paths
 
                       1
             What does this horde of slaves,
 
             Of traitors, of conspirating kings want?
             For whom these ignoble shackles
 
             These irons since long prepared?
                      (twice)
 
             Frenchmen, for us, ah! what an outrage
             What anger must it arouse?
 
             It's us that they dare to try 
             To render unto antique slavery!
 
                        (to chorus) 
                            2
             What these foreign legions!
 
             Would make the law in our homes!
 
             What! these mercenary phalanx 
             Would defeat our warrior sons!
                       (twice)
             Good God! By chained hands
 
             Our heads would bend themselves
             under the yoke!
 
             Vile despots would become
 
             The masters of destiny.
 
             (to chorus) 
                     3
             Tremble, tyrants and you treacherous,
 
             The disgrace of all parties, 
             Tremble ! Your parricide projects
 
             Are going to at last receive their
             rewards !(twice)
 
             All are soldiers to fight you,
 
             If they fall, our young heros,
 
             France will produce more anew,
 
             All ready to fight against you
 
             (to chorus)
 
                        4
            Frenchmen, in war magnanimous
 
            Hit or restrain yourselves!
 
            Spare those sad victims,
 
            To regret arming themselves against us
            (twice) 
            But those bloodthirsty despots,
 
            But those accomplices of Bouillé, 
            All those tigers who, without pity, 
            Tear apart their mother!
 
            (to chorus)
 
                         5
            We shall take up the cause
 
            When our elders wont be there any
            more,
 
            We shall find their dust there
 
            And the trace of their virtues (twice)
 
            Much less desirous of surviving them 
            Than of sharing their coffins, 
            We shall have the sublime pride
 
            Of avenging them or following them!
            (to chorus)
 
                     6
            Sacred love of the motherland,
            Guide us, support our vengeful arms,
            Liberty, dear Liberty 
            Fight alongside your defenders!
            (twice)
 
            Under our flags, let victory
 
            rush to your manly tones 
            Let your dying enemies
            See your Triumph and our Glory!
 
            (to chorus)
