I urge you all to subscribe to H-net. I have been selectively forwarding it to you for years. With the growth of disability studies we have many fine options for important email. Periodically I ask you all if I should continue some forwards. I know that the SDS Membership is about 25% new each year. This is why I continue to forward. SDS is often the first disability list for new Members and I do get offline thanks. We lose about 20% of Members each year. Most of them linger on the list for a year or two after not renewing. Purging them takes a few days of work and at least half of the non-renewals renew to attend meetings. So the SDS list reaches more than current members. Someone with access to our Membership software and Archives would need to do a significant amount of work to create a list of “ever Members.” Devva Kasnitz, PhD Devvaco Consulting, 1614 D St. Eureka, CA 95501-2345 -- devva@earthlink.net or devvaco@gmail.com Adj Professor, City University of New York—School of Professional Studies—Disability Studies Text: 510-206-5767, She/Her/Hers From: H-Net Notifications <drupaladmin@mail.h-net.org> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2023 10:11 AM To: devva@EARTHLINK.NET Subject: H-Disability: CFP for "Disability on the Cusp" Essay Cluster Greetings Devva Kasnitz, A new item has been posted in H-Disability. CFP for <https://networks.h-net.org/user/login?destination=node/12221958> "Disability on the Cusp" Essay Cluster by Robert Volpicelli Essay Cluster for <https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/cusp> Cusp: Late 19th-/Early 20th-Century Cultures Disability on the Cusp: Transitions, Transformations, Intersections While Victorian studies and modernist studies have each developed substantial bodies of criticism on the subject of disability, these conversations have for the most part taken place separately, with their own distinct vocabularies and perspectives. Aimed at overcoming this critical divide, this essay cluster invites submissions that examine disability on the cusp—as it developed from the late nineteenth century up through the mid-twentieth. Consequently, the essays in this cluster will be especially attentive to the transitions, transformations, and intersections that belonged to disability during the long turn of the century. Topics include but are not limited to: -The development of disability as a category within medical science -The transformation of the social structures that defined and demarcated the experience of disability -The changing relationship between disability and other identity categories like class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation -The aesthetic revolutions in representing disability in literature and other media -The cultural connections and divisions that emerged around disability within the international contexts of empire and globalization -The differences in critical approaches to disability across historical fields (e.g., Victorian and modernist, nineteenth and twentieth century) Essays for this cluster should be between 2,500 and 3,500 words. They should seek to make provocative, field-level claims, along the lines of a roundtable paper. Excerpts from larger projects will be acceptable if they are independently framed. Please send a brief scholarly bio and abstract to <mailto:robertvolpicelli@rmc.edu> robertvolpicelli@rmc.edu by March 15th. Final essays will be approved through peer review. * Read more or reply <https://networks.h-net.org/user/login?destination=node/12221958> Message from a proud sponsor of H-Net: <https://www.h-net.org/collateral/nbnfooterlogo202211_scaled.png> The New Books Network <https://networks.h-net.org/nbn-campaign?mtm_campaign=nbn-ss> is proud to be a sponsor of H-Net.
