Nancy E Hansen, PhD, Professor, Director, Interdisciplinary Master's Program,Disability Studies Accessibility is not an optics issue or a choice it is a necessity If you say I have special needs ... then just say the word disabled. Euphemisms only fuel ableism. Disability is not a dirty word. Haben Girma Disability is creativity at a moment’s notice. It adds depth and texture.

Meyer<https://networks.h-net.org/users/craig-meyer> on 05/31/2024 - 9:35pm Announcement Type Call for Papers Date May 31, 2024 - September 1, 2024 Location NY United States Call for Papers — Disability and Star Trek, Special Issue of CJDS Proposal Deadline: September 1, 2024 Throughout its evolution, the Star Trek franchise has worked to tell stories about diversity on several levels, and a key element of several episodes has been disability. For example, from Captain Pike to Lieutenant Detmer, Star Trek offers many opportunities that provide for deeper discussions of disability. At the same time as Star Trek’s legacy has expanded, definitions and models of disability representation have continued to shift in new ways. Additionally, as disability theorist Dan Goodley (2017) suggests, theories have become multi-dimensional, and disabilities are now better understood to coexist alongside other markers of diversity (p. 44). Because both Star Trek and disability studies continue to shape how we think about the present as well as what we can imagine about the future, the Special Issue editors are seeking submissions for the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies (CJDS) that highlights the ways that disability influences, impacts, and operates within the Star Trek universe/franchise. We are seeking submissions of previously unpublished articles on disabilities, with a focus on disability theory within the world(s) and storylines of the Star Trek franchise. We encourage articles from minoritized populations, including disabled authors. Please submit your abstracts of no more than 300 words to Special Issue Editors Daniel Preston (daniel.preston@gmail.com) and Craig A. Meyer (craigAmeyer@gmail.com) by September 1, 2024, with the subject line, “CJDS Star Trek Special Issue.” In the abstract, please include name, affiliation (if applicable), and contact information. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Disability identity * Technology * specific episodes or storylines related to disability * Intersections of disability * Quality of life * Neurodiversity * Community * Access and accommodation * Meaning of disability as it relates to Star Trek For those accepted for consideration, the deadline for full paper submission will be March 1, 2025 for preliminary review. Proposed Timeline: * Abstract due to editors: Sept. 1, 2024 * Author notifications: Oct. 1. 2024 * Full drafts due (to editors): March 1, 2025 For CJDS format and guideline questions, please contact Jay Dolmage (Editor) at dolmage@uwaterloo.ca.
