The Review of Disability Studies: An International Journal, the peer-reviewed, open access journal published by the Center on Disability Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, is seeking submissions for a special issue exploring stories of the Global South through a decolonial and anti-ableist lens.

Decolonial futurity refers to reimagining and reclaiming the ethical relationship to land, kin, and communities by centering on indigenous knowledge, practices, and responsibilities.

We invite submission of academic and activist writings as well as creative work that explore the struggles inherent in Western disability studies and that offer suggestions for tackling obstacles that exist to decolonial and anti-ableist futures.

We are soliciting papers of approximately 6,000 words in length. The deadline for submission is August 31, 2023. Papers for consideration should be submitted to the Review of Disability Studies online submission system at https://rdsjournal.org/

The full call for papers is available at: https://rdsjournal.org/index.php/journal/rds-global-south.
