ANNOUNCEMENT: Disability History Association Newsletter now available!

I share an email from Cathy Kudlick...

Dear Historians of Disability,

At long last, the new edition of the Disability History Association Newsletter is available. In this meaty, 25+ page issue we have a number of terrific, thoughtful features including member profiles by Alice Wexler from the USA and Iain Hutchison from Scotland, as well as the first of a two-part interview with leading disability history scholar Henri-Jacques Stiker. We also have a report on the Disability History Conference held at San Francisco State University in August and a description of the holdings in disability history at the US National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland. And we have information about new books, upcoming conferences, and blogs of interest to historians of disability.

At present, you can only get to the page by using this link, so please delete any older bookmarks you might have: http://www.dishist.org/

Thanks to everyone for your patience as we faced "overwhelming odds" to migrate the webpage, but now we at least have a new base and will build from there.

Best, Cathy Kudlick

President and Provocateur
