Disability Studies Quarterly

Disability Studies Quarterly (DSQ) is the journal of the Society for Disability Studies (SDS). It is a multidisciplinary and international journal of interest to social scientists, scholars in the humanities, disability rights advocates, creative writers, and others concerned with the issues of people with disabilities. It represents the full range of methods, epistemologies, perspectives, and content that the multidisciplinary field of disability studies embraces. DSQ is committed to developing theoretical and practical knowledge about disability and to promoting the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in society.

DSQ is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles that meet the highest and most rigorous standards within their larger academic discipline. Manuscripts are anonymously reviewed by at least two scholars in the field. A limited number of manuscripts are published without peer review as Cultural Commentaries, specifically essays providing personal perspectives and analyses of timely topics relevant to the field of disability studies. All materials are reviewed by the co-editors for quality and appropriateness and are not guaranteed publication.

Creative submissions such as poetry, fiction, plays, essays, short films, or sample performances (on video) with disability themes and issues should be sent to Co-Editor Brenda Brueggemann. Creative submissions will be reviewed by the co-editors and also possibly peer reviewed by scholars and writers working with disability in the fields of cultural studies, humanities, and/or creative writing.

Anyone who would like to propose a theme section should contact the DSQ Co-Editors. See general guidelines for proposing theme sections/issues at the Guidelines for Contributors page. Please indicate whether the section will contain peer-reviewed articles, non-peer-reviewed articles, or both. The editors retain the right of refusal for any article in a theme section.

Anyone interested in writing a review of a disability-related book, film, or video should contact one of the Co-Editors.
