Dear Disability-Research Listserv Members,
I would like to share the following call for papers with you. If you have
any questions or need a copy of the authors guide for submission, please get
in touch with Sharon or me by e-mail. The third volume, which focuses on
analytic work that uses the data from the National Center for Health
Statistic's Survey of Persons with Disabilities, will be coming out next
June.
Call for Papers for
Research in Social Science and Disability, Volume 4
"Conflict and Change in the Disability Community"
Research in Social Science and Disability is an annual volume
published by Elsevier publishers. It focuses on linkages between disability
and the social and cultural environment. It is based upon the premise that
disability is not purely a medical phenomena, but rather is based on the
interaction between the social and physical environment and a person's
physical or mental state. It considers aspects of disabilities as viewed
through the lens of social science disciplines including history, economics,
geography, political science, psychology, anthropology, sociology,
demography, or closely related fields. It considers all forms of disability
associated with mental and physical impairments.
The editors, Barbara M. Altman and Sharon N. Barnartt, are
soliciting original, unpublished manuscripts for Volume 4 , which will be
published in 2003. The theme for Volume 4 is "Conflict and Change in the
Disability Community." Relevant papers might examine, for example, the
effects of the ADA on occupational patterns of people with disabilities,
changes over time in voting patterns of deaf people, the effect of polio
epidemics in creating leaders in the disability community, changes over time
in social movement mobilization in the disability community, changes in
patterns of blindness services since 1900, or conflicts within the
disability community about support for mainstreaming.
Submissions can include theoretical and critical papers, analyses
based on qualitative as well as quantitative research methodologies,
methodological or conceptual papers, and comprehensive reviews of the
literature. Research in Social Science and Disability will not consider
medical, or clinical aspects of disability, case studies, practice
descriptions, or program evaluations. All articles will be peer-reviewed
by reviewers from the same disciplinary background.
Papers should not exceed 40 pages double spaced. Four copies should
be submitted no later than May 1, 2002 for Volume 4, to Sharon Barnartt,
Department of Sociology, Gallaudet University, Washington, DC 20002.
Questions can be emailed to or [log in to unmask]
