Seems that this discussion on identities, positions, and binaries is a good opportunity for me to encourage list members to submit an abstract to the DSQ edition on multiple disabilities/identities. I am guest editing this edition and am hoping that people with an interest in mixed identities will respond. Examples I used in previous posts included Deaf-Blind people, people who have two or more different disabilities which result in a new identification, and people for example, who claim (thanks to simi for the language) disability and other identities ( immigrant, queer, alcoholic/addict. I am particularly interested in the "voices" of people/academics/activists/ who experience this multiplicities but am also interested in theoretical or models that look at the NON binary and the non linear aspects of having more than one identity/ and or disability. I have posted this call before saying an abstract is due by end of November with full paper in January, but would rahter people inquire now so I can get a sense of who to include in this edition. I think the discussion on this list serve continues to demonstrate the diversity of our community and the lack of a need for homogeneous thought. Keep it up.
