Max,
I know that there is a new book in press by a group of scholars based out of UBC (Vancouver) that is about narratives of disability - it is interdisciplinary in scope and there were many literary/humanities kinds of papers given at the conference that preceded the book I recall. You may want to get in touch with them about looking at the chapters to see if there are any links with what you are doing. Actually, I have a copy of the TOC so I'll paste that in below. If you want more info, the contact person would be:
