Hi Mary--
I just put Ray's paper on Cultural-Historical SIG website. You can get at
ftp://ematusov.soe.udel.edu/CH-SIG/ I don't have Hugh's paper scanned,
unfortunately.
As to other reference, Ray wrote a few other interesting papers such Culture
as Disability (in A&Q -- I guess), Inarticulateness.
Please, let me know what you will find. Time to time my students also have
focus on this issue.
Good luck,
Eugene
PS I just found the references:

context: Connecting observation and understanding: Lectures from the 1985
LSA/TESOL and NEH institutes. Norwood, NJ: Ablex.

and Education Quarterly, 23(6), 324-348.
