>>Disability Studies Quarterly, Summer 2006, Theme Issue

>>"Religious, Spirituality, and Disability Studies"

>>  Call for Abstracts
>>

>>Historically, relations between institutional religion and the
>>disability community have been ambivalent, but religion and spirituality
>>have continued to be important in the lives of many people with
>>disabilities.  Recently, institutional religion has begun to understand
>>that the disability community is a source of theological insight and
>>ethical praxis that can transform the faith community.  Most faith
>>groups have adopted inclusive policies and programs to reduce
>>architectural, communication, and attitudinal barriers to participation
>>by persons with disabilities.  These efforts are supported by the "New
>>Freedom Initiative" of the U.S. Federal administration, which includes
>>access to religious participation in its promotion of "full access to
>>community life."
>>
>>
>>
>>To inform and document these developments in religion, spirituality, and
>>disability, the Summer 2006 issue of DSQ will be on the theme "Religion,
>>Spirituality, and Disability Studies."  Researchers interested in
>>contributing to the issue should E-mail an abstract of not more than 300
>>words to both of the Guest Editors of the theme issue:
