Disability & Society is an international disability studies journal providing a focus for debate about such issues as human rights, discrimination, definitions, policy and practices. It appears against a background of constant change in the ways in which disability is viewed and responded to.
The journal publishes articles that represent a wide range of perspectives including the importance of the voices of disabled people.
Disability & Society invites papers where definitions of disability are acknowledged to be relative and segregated approaches are seen as inadequate and unacceptable - placing greater emphasis on inclusion. Perspectives are also invited which critique ways in which policy intentions may or may not have the desired effects in the everyday lives of disabled people.
Disability scholars engage and identify with other oppressed groups and the journal leads the way in forging new paths for disability studies.
There is an established well-informed international audience for the journal. Authors are expected to consider this wide readership and to exhibit knowledge of previously-published articles when submitting their work for consideration.
