Attention Authors, Researchers, and Advocates:
The Disability Studies Quarterly Spring Edition will be on the topic
of multiple disabling (dis/labling) conditions and situations. Tanis Doe
([log in to unmask]) is accepting submissions of PROPOSALS in abstract
form until November 30 1999. Selected articles will need to be finalized
by the end of February 2000 at the latest. The deadline is NOT flexible so
interested authors should enquire early and I will respond as early as I
can to give the most time to work on the pieces. Your proposal should be
emailed to me in the body of an email (to this email [log in to unmask])
or if as an attachment to [log in to unmask] as this email does not accept
attachments. Your Proposal should be no longer than 500 words and should
adequately explain your topic, your main points and if a research project,
your methodology. A short bio about yourself is welcome but not required.
I am looking for articles that are either theoretical or empirical ( or
both) which explicate the situation of people who have more than one
disability or lable, and if possible more than one intersecting
oppression. For example, issues facing Deaf-blind people of colour, or
people with psychiatric lables who use wheelchairs or have learning
disabilities. My aim is to get as broad a set of articles as possible and
to represent some of the issues left out of mainstream writing because of
their "complexity" or minority status. I am particularly interested in
proposals which either use or critique the social model as it is used for
people with multiple disabilities and if alternatives are available to
that model how they can be applied. If you have any questions please
email me off list. Thanks.
Below please find information on the final format of contributions as
written by Editor David Pfeiffer
Guest/special editor, Tanis Doe, Ph.D. Pearson College
Tanis is moving in August please stay tuned for new address and phone
number. Visit http://members.xoom.com/doetanis1/newhome.html for some

Information from David Pfeiffer about contributing to this journal:
Every article published in the Quarterly is reviewed by the
editor, the special editor, and/or the book review editor.
Although not technically a refereed publication, scholarly and
professional standards are expected from the authors.
Please submit all material in IBM compatible format in ASCII
either on a 5 1/4" or a 3 1/2" disk. Do not use footnotes on the
page or any imbedded notes because they will not print correctly.
All notes (if used) must be endnotes. If "References" are
provided, all citations in the list must be included in the notes
or the text. Any citation not included will be deleted. If a
"Bibliography" is provided (which includes all references), it
can contain material not cited in the text or the notes. Any
appropriate and clear form of citation can be used. However, it
must be consistent throughout the material.
Gender specific pronouns should be avoided unless
appropriate. The form "people with disabilities" or something
similar must be used. Do not use contractions or slang unless it
is in the original text which is being quoted. Corrections of
grammar and syntax will be done, but every effort will be made to
keep the original wording.
Work previously published must be so noted with a complete
citation. If a copyright was obtained on the previously
published work, written permission from the copyright holder must
be included. Previously published work is not encouraged.
While there is no page limitation on individual
contributions, authors should discuss the number of pages with
the issue editor. The overall issue length is dependent upon
funding.
Contributors who are not subscribers are encouraged to
subscribe. The managing editor will provide a copy of an issue
in which a non-subscriber's material appeared.
Authors are responsible for meeting these guidelines.
Special editors are responsible for enforcing these guidelines.
The editor's decision in these matters is final, but the editor
is very grateful to all contributors and special editors for
their hard work.
