Review of Disability Studies: International Journal

The Center on Disability Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa, is pleased to announce the publication of a new journal, The Review of Disability Studies: An International Journal. The new journal will contain peer reviewed research articles, essays, and bibliographies relating to the culture of disability and people with disabilities. It will also publish forums on disability topics brought together by forum editors of international stature. Poetry, short stories, creative essays, photographs, and art work related to disability are also invited. These items will be reviewed by in house and external editorial staff to ensure a high standard of professional quality. If appropriate and specifically requested, a manuscript will be anonymously reviewed by two outside peer reviewers and this fact will be noted when it is published. Invited book, film, and video reviews will also be published.

The editor is Robert Stodden, Ph.D. The associate editors are Steven Brown, Ph.D., and Megan Conway, Ph.D. Brown will serve as the over all reviews editor. The Review will be published on the Web and will be produced in a print version. The first two issues will be freely available on the Web, but a subscription is necessary to obtain printed copies. The charter subscription price is $50 US for individuals and $100 US for libraries and institutions with a $15 US fee for postage outside of the US and Canada because it will be sent via air mail in order for it to arrive within a reasonable time. Reduced subscription rates are available.

The Journal is open to all perspectives, approaches, views, and paradigms relevant to the study and experience of disability.
