Could I be a pain and ask people to please include a descriptive subject line
when posting to the list-serve? Because of the fear of viruses, I generally
don't open emails from people unless I recognize their name, or the subject
line from their email makes it apparent that they're part of the list-serve.
If I don't recognize a person's name, and the subject line is blank, or has a
non-descriptive title (e.g. "email list"), I typically don't open the email
because I can't be sure that it isn't a virus. (This is a guideline suggested
by the IT folks at my university.) Unfortunately, I think because of this I
miss out from time to time on things that go over the list-serve.
Thanks.
Jason.

> Israel/Palestine is a contested space with varying and conflicting
> perspectives, which affects notions of ability and normality. It provides a
> unique and interesting locale in which to examine questions of disability
> formation, activism, policies, laws, ideologies and representations. The
> significance of the locale cannot be overstated. Israel is a relatively new
> nation state with ancient but evolving traditions; its people have been both
> victims and victimizers; Israel/Palestine exists in a constant state of
> military alert and everyday violence; there are tensions between Palestinians
> and Jews, Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews, and other groups; religious and secular
> philosophies often clash; and the penetration of global capital and
> privatization have widened the gap between rich and poor. As all these
> factors converge, dis/ability becomes an increasingly important site of
> struggle for both dominant and subjugated groups.

> This international section of DSQ aspires to provide a varied account of

> * Intersections of ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexuality, gender and
> disability
> * Militarism, terrorism and disability formation
> * Disability policies, laws and regulations
