    CALL FOR PAPERS

    Disability Studies Online Magazine:

    Located at the domain address www.disabilitystudies.com, we are an
    online magazine focusing on the academic field of disability studies and
    interdisciplinary discussions of disability. Our focus is to consider
    disability within the framework of society, rather than as individual
    pathology. Viewing disability in this context one can see the
    connections and relevance of disability to a wide variety of
    disciplines, including: geography, sociology, medicine, social work,
    social policy, architecture, art history, anthropology, comparative
    religions, philosophy, law, popular culture, media and film, literature,
    history, women studies, and education to name a few.

    The purposes of this online magazine are to: 1.) Promote disability
    studies by creating a space for the discussion of issues, trends and
    current literature pertaining to the field 2.) Provide an opportunity
    for academics, professionals and graduate students from a variety of
    disciplines to publish their work on topics related to disability,
    broadly conceived. 3.) Maintain a database of people, programs,
    conferences, bibliographies, events and other resources available online
    to the public.

    We welcome all submissions on academic topics that pertain to disability
    including reports or research, theoretical discussions, critical
    reviews, book reviews, essays and editorials. We will also post calls
    for papers and announcements regarding disability sessions at upcoming
    conferences.
