The Review of Disability Studies (RDS) is an anonymous peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that is targeted towards any person interested in disability studies. We are honored to have readers and authors from all over the world. We accept submissions in English of a scholarly nature covering a range of disciplines within disability studies as well as creative works expressing ideas in the area of disability. Additionally, as part of our Global Perspective on Disability initiative (by Associate Editors S. Kazemi and H. Karah), we will be publishing two native language submissions in each issue.
While submissions are not limited to such, we continue to welcome submissions that address the ways in which the current pandemic has impacted our practices, our lives, and the ways in which we collectively conceive of (and experience) disability.

We are releasing a revised version of Volume 13, Issue 4 of the Review of Disability Studies. Most particularly, we regret that we made some editorial errors related to preferred pronouns, in the article “What is a Service Animal? A Careful Rethinking” by Margaret Price, by inadvertently overlooking automatic changes made by spellcheck.

Disability & Aging: International Perspectives
Read more
Population aging is taking place in nearly all countries across the globe. Within current research and policy, the relationship between disability and aging is often oversimplified and underdeveloped. Disability is assumed to be a product of unsuccessful aging, and aging as an obstacle to living well with a disability.
This special issue of The Review of Disability Studies: An International Journal (RDS) features eight original articles that analyze how disability and aging appear within research and policy in Canada, the United States, Australia and Switzerland. The articles in this international collection use interdisciplinary perspectives to explore the relationship between disability and aging in its complexity. They expose and challenge age and disability related myths and misconceptions and reconsider why global population matters.

Volume 11 Issue 3 Now Posted
2015-09-22
Happy Fall from RDS!
The Fall semester is well under way and our International journal is receiving submissions from all over the world! The newest issue of the Review of Disability Studies (RDS), Volume 11, Issue 3 has something for everyone.
A few things from our exciting current issue:
Despite the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1975 granting children with disabilities in the US access to education and integration in schools, many classrooms remain segregated today. Priya Lalvani from Montclair State University shares her research on this issue in the manuscript entitled: "Rethinking Disability and Inclusive Education: A Teacher Study Group." Exploring institutionalized ableism and the role of educators in the systematic segregation of students with disabilities in schools has important implications for inclusive education in democratic societies.
The tourism industry in Zimbabwe is booming. Despite the fact that tourism is a social right for all, and people with disabilities represent a substantial market for tourism, little has been done to ensure access to tourism facilities for those with disabilities. Oliver Chikuta draws attention to this topic and makes recommendations in his research article "Is There Room in the Inn? Towards Incorporating People with Disability in Tourism Planning."
The internationally acclaimed artist Lee Mingwei gave the "gift of song" to Maria Timberlake, our Associate Editor for Creative Works. In Maria's article she shares how she felt receiving such a gift, and her experience later as artist for a day in Mingwei's Living Room exhibit at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Maria draws implications from Mingwei's art to her studies on inclusive education and his emphasis on human connection, paying sincere attention to others, and dissolving barriers. She describes her experiences and insights in her piece entitled, "Inclusion and the Gifts of Art."
Remember, to view the current issue and any content from the past year, you must be a subscriber! So, what are you waiting for? It's a great time to give yourself the gift of knowledge with a subscription to the Review of Disability Studies!! Register and Subscribe today.
We are always looking for submissions, so spread the word! We are anxious to receive your research articles but would also love to get your creative submissions- poetry, essays, short stories, art work, photography, anything in the area of disability studies that you want to share with an international audience. Send your work today! For more info, check out our website.
Wishing you a productive Fall. Until next time, mahalo nui loa!!
