CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - Please Forward
I am soliciting submissions for an anthology tentatively titled
d"isABLED Women of Color in Higher Education: Multiple Voices and
Identities Transcending Race, Gender and Disabilities", with the
intention of having it published and distributed by the Association on
Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD).
I am specifically seeking personal stories and/or scholarly works
written by and about women of color with disabilities, and their
experiences in higher education. Writers are requested to identify their
racial backgrounds as well as their impairments when submitting works
(will be included in any published bio statements), as well as their
status as either current or past higher education student and/or
employee.
Tentative topics may include works addressing: Education; Challenges;
Passing (experiences related to invisibility, and/or shielding ones'
identity); Coming Out (experiences related to becoming comfortable and
"open" about any combination of identities); Relationships (may involve
sexual orientation and other sexual experiences); Employment; Society,
and Other (we are open to "other"
possibilities and experiences contributors might offer).
This publication has great potential to be appealing to those interested
in disability studies, women's studies, diversity studies, psychology,
sociology and other academic departments as well as AHEAD Members, and
the students served.
If interested in participating, please submit an original, unpublished
manuscript to the editor Dr. Mary Lee Vance at [log in to unmask]
Submissions must be typed as a Microsoft word document and submitted
electronically to the editor. Articles should be no longer than 5,000
words in length. Deadline for submissions is December 16, 2005. Target
publication date is expected to be summer 2006.
