New Site for Disability Studies Quarterly Online

I am very happy to be able to tell all of you that we now have a new URL for Disability Studies Quarterly: www.dsq-sds.org. This will make the journal more accessible. All past online issues (since 2000) are now available there. The next new issue, Summer-Fall 2003, will be online shortly.

The new DSQ editors, Beth Haller of Towson University and Corinne Kirchner of the American Foundation for the Blind, are in the process of adding to the Editorial Board by assembling a large and diversified group of scholars. The process is ongoing but so far, 16 disability studies scholars have agreed to serve on the DSQ Editorial Board. They are: Barbara Altman, National Center for Health Statistics; Douglas Baynton, University of Iowa; Brenda Brueggeman, Ohio State University; Doris Zames Fleischer, New Jersey Institute of Technology; Anita Ghai, Jesus and Mary College, New Delhi, India; Andrew Houtenville, Cornell University; Victoria Lewis, University of the Redlands; Paul Longmore, San Francisco State University; David Mitchell, University of Illinois at Chicago; Patricia Murphy, University of Toledo; Melanie Panitch, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada; Lynn Schlesinger, SUNY at Plattsburgh; Richard Scotch, University of Texas at Dallas; Sue Schweik, University of California at Berkeley; Steven Taylor, Syracuse University; and Frieda Zames, New Jersey Institute of Technology. The expanded Editorial Board will be assisting with DSQ's new peer-reviewed section, which will involve multiple anonymous reviews. DSQ will continue to offer special symposium editions, as well as publish non-peer-reviewed articles, book and film reviews, commentary/essays, poetry/fiction, letters to the editor, general news, and calls for papers.

For more on submission guidelines, visit http://www.dsq-sds.org and read "Guidelines for Contributors."

The editors have named two people to take over the duties of DSQ Book & Film Review Editors. Linda Long of Brandeis University will oversee reviews of social science-related books and films, and Katie Lebesco of Marymount Manhattan College will oversee reviews of humanities-related books and films.
