My profound apologies to Jenny Slater, Karen Soldatic and Helen Meekosha, whose citations were not included in my previous email announcement concerning the societies special issue, and whose papers will certainly be of interest to list members.

 

See full listing below.

 

Best,

Jacqueline Low and I are editing a special issue in "Societies" on the body. The issue is still moving towards completion - there are a couple  of articles still in the review process, and Chris Shilling will be writing up a capstone essay for this issue. Meanwhile, here are the citations and links for those articles that have been published to date. The last two are particularly related to disability studies:
