ANNOUNCEMENT: Current Journal Articles on Disability History

Introduction: About once a month (supply allowing), we post a listing of recently published historical articles about disability (somewhat broadly defined). These articles are usually found on the "current periodicals" shelves at a university library, from the most recent two calendar years (right now, 2009-2010). Some of them are culled from online Table of Contents sites maintained by journal publishers. We also include book chapters in new collections, cites for new books, and cites for review articles, new books, and new dissertations. Contributions are always welcomed offlist and are compiled into subsequent postings by the editor.

The usual caveats:

1) your definitions of history and disability may exclude some of these articles, and include others;

2) listing here does not necessarily constitute a recommendation of the articles involved; and

3) only English-language tables of contents or abstracts are usually culled (but works in other languages are welcome from contributors).

ANNOUCEMENT: H-Dis: Disability History Association notes

From Penny L. Richards,

This morning I overhauled the "Recent Dissertations" page at the Disability History Association website. We're calling 2006-present "recent" at the DHA website, and will keep that rolling (so, next year the listings will cut off at 2007, etc.). If you have a recently completed doctoral dissertation that isn't listed, send me the cite in a similar format and I'll get it in there directly:

http://www.dishist.org/dissertations.html

While I'm here, if you're a graduate student working in disability history, don't forget about the DHA Graduate Student Scholarship, for help attending conferences. The due date for applications is September 10, 2010. See the whole announcement in the Spring 2010 newsletter:
