Hi, I realize most students in disability studies are graduate
students, but surely there's a few undergraduate students lurking on
these disability studies listservs. Hope you all consider putting
forth some of your work for Disability Studies Quarterly! Cheers.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
CFP for a special section of DSQ: Disability in the Undergraduate
Classroom. This special section will feature writing about disability
by undergraduate students. To put this important writing in context, the
issue will also feature two-three scholarly essays by professors on
teaching disability in the undergraduate classroom. Expected publication
Fall 2008.
We invite students to submit papers and projects related to disability
--including both traditional papers and multi-modal, online work. A
teacher may submit on a student's behalf if appropriate permission has
been obtained from the student authors.
We welcome student submissions on any disability related topics such as
access, pedogogical or professional issues, disability identity and
intersections with other identity categories, disability politics,
history, culture, language, philosophy. We will also consider fiction
or poetry, with disability themes. Any genre of student work is
acceptable--
* cultural commentaries
* book/film reviews
* critical essays
* research writing
* analysis of disability representations in film, novels, or memoir
* personal narratives
* reflective writing
If you are planning to teach a disability related course this summer or
fall or winter, consider working this call into your course and/or using
your syllabus to invite students to submit their work.
For all selected student work, we will ask the teacher(s) to write a
brief, accompanying critical reflection of no more than 250 words, which
can offer an explanation of the course and/or assignment, as well as
some words about the piece itself and the experience of teaching disability
to undergraduate students. We also invite longer scholarly essays by
teachers on teaching a disability-themed undergraduate class. This
special issue is intended to provide opportunities for student writing
and articulate the many ways disability informs pedagogy, with
particular focus on writing.
Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2008
