Jim....As editor of Disability Studies Quarterly I will reply to only one issue you brought up (volunteering) and leave the other issues to those persons who are connected to them.....David On Sun, 14 May 2000, Jim Davis wrote: > Hi David, > My post mentioned no names, and I am happy to confirm that you are not > one of the SDS-ers that has been running me around in circles for a > year. Thank you. I did not think you were saying that, but it is good to read it. > I am unable to understand how editorial contribution requires physically > being in Hawaii or Dallas. Let me say what I meant and then maybe we can use you as a volunteer at - where are you anyway? Three of the four issues a year are put together by the symposium editors and you would have to voluteer to them, but of course not having received any copies of DSQ you do not know who they are! I have remedied that. The book, video, and film review editor is always looking for reviewers. Her name is Dr. Elaine Makas (she goes by Elaine) and her email address is <[log in to unmask]>. Contact her and tell her your areas of expertise. At times she is difficult to get to because she is out of town so please be patient. I review and edit everything which goes into an issue of DSQ. There is a copy editor who also edits each issue. And Richard Scotch as managing editor reviews everything before the issue is printed. If you can suggest a role you could take, we will discuss it, but please off line.

I will investigate that development. If you paid for 1999 you should receive the four issues.

I do not have access to the SDS web site to include a link.
