***Apologies for cross posting***
The editors of Evidence & Policy are looking for papers for an upcoming special issue:
The many faces of disability in evidence for policy and practice
Guest Editors: Carol Rivas, David Gough and Ikuko Tomomatsu
Deadline for registration of interest: 30 June
This special issue examines the relationship between disability, evidence, and policy. It considers the extent to which the demand for, and use of evidence in policy and practice takes account of disability perspectives. Current events provide a window of opportunity to reassess and change some of the entrenched systems that consistently exclude vulnerable groups such as disabled populations. It is timely therefore to produce a special issue that considers how the use of evidence does or does not take account of the perspectives of disability.
Aims and scope
The special issue will take a creative approach to further stimulate debates on this topic. Its philosophical focus is on the intersection of values, ethics, epistemologies and policy and the different ways that disabled people can influence policy and practice.
The special issue editors are looking for:
We particularly encourage submissions relating to the Global South and by researchers with disabilities. We are not looking for pandemic-specific papers, but will consider them if they fit with the broad aims of the special issue.
Types of paper
We are looking for three types of paper:
Research articles of 5-8,000 words that describe an original piece of primary research.
Debate articles of 3-5,000 words – opinion pieces that will analyse the state of the field and/or critically discuss new evidence-related initiatives or burning issues relevant to the topic of the special issue.
Practice papers of 3-5,000 words that describe and critique a project or process by which evidence was or could be applied to policy and practice, from the point of view of a practitioner, decision maker or researcher.
