CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO A SPECIAL ISSUE OF INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FEMINIST APPROACHES TO BIOETHICS (IJFAB)
Vol. 3, no. 2, Fall, 2010

From the Margins to the Center:
Feminist Disability Studies and/in Feminist Bioethics

Guest Editor, Shelley Tremain

In recent years, work done in mainstream bioethics has been challenged by the emerging field of disability studies.

A growing number of disability theorists and activists point out that the views about disability and disabled people that mainstream bioethicists have articulated on matters such as prenatal testing, stem cell research, and physician-assisted suicide incorporate significant misunderstandings about them and amount to an institutionalized form of their oppression.

While some feminist bioethicists have paid greater attention to the perspectives and arguments of disabled people than other bioethicists, these perspectives and arguments are rarely made central. Feminist disability theory remains marginalized even within feminist bioethics.

This issue of IJFAB will go some distance to move feminist disability studies from the margins to the center of feminist bioethics by highlighting the contributions to and interventions in bioethics that feminist disability studies is uniquely situated to make.

The guest editor seeks contributions to the issue on any topic related to feminist disability studies and bioethics, including (but not limited to):

Critiques of bioethics by feminist disability theorists from within feminist bioethics
The relevance of feminist disability studies in developing countries
What’s still missing from feminist arguments in the debates about stem cell research and other forms of biotechnology
The importance of perspectives of disabled embodiment in feminist bioethics
How the critiques of bioethics advanced in disability studies are gendered
The integration of political analyses of disability into feminist bioethics
The critique of notions of normalcy embedded in (feminist) bioethics
The reevaluation of feminist approaches to care from a feminist disability studies perspective

Articles should be 3,000 - 8,000 words in length. Shorter pieces written for the Commentaries section of the issue should be 2,000-3,000 words in length.

All submissions should be double-spaced, prepared for anonymous review (no identifying references in the body of the text or bibliography), accompanied by an abstract of 150 words, and prepared in accordance with the journal’s style guidelines which are posted on the IJFAB website (www.ijfab.org).

Contact information – email address, street address, and affiliation (if applicable) – should appear on a separate page which also includes a statement verifying that the work has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Submissions should be sent as email attachments in Microsoft Word or rtf to Shelley Tremain at s.tremain@yahoo.ca The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2009. The guest editor strongly encourages authors to contact her before completing their submissions.

Disability Studies is a rather broad topic. There are different career paths in order to work with people with disabilities. If you would like to help those with limitations attain employment and provide counseling into the various aspects of their lives, perhaps a rehabilitation counselor (to become a CRC/certified rehabilitation counselor) would be an option. I’m not sure about the job market for them, however. One would need their master’s degree which includes fieldwork/clinicals for those credentials.Online universities

By Wedding Butterflies on August 13, 2009

I agree. Disability studies is a broad topic so I suggest you narrow it down. Since your site talks about feminist maybe you can narrow it down to disabilities that affect majority of the women.

Feminists realize that the huge increases in marriages to Foreign Women and the Marriage Strike, will further erode their influence on Men and Women. So they are trying to convince Women that Feminism will mean a happy life. Sorry the empirical evidence loud screams the opposite.

I would really like to encourage disabled feminist philosophers and other disabled feminist theorists to submit their work for this issue. This is an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate that there is much left out (about us) of the theoretical work which nondisabled feminist bioethicists produce, for us to identify the ways in which it is omitted, and why.منتديات

I wish I can view the entries to this so that I can broaden my mind with regards to Feminist Disability Studies as well as in Feminist Bioethics. It’s time that issues surrounding the wellness of women should be given much attention and discussion. This subject should be address all over the world and various opinions must be considered since it affects a lot of women everywhere. Hopefully I’ll have the chance of taking a take a peep at the articles that were submitted.

There is so much wrong with the educational system right now that focusing on any type of discrimination is kind of moot. I am not necessarily saying it doesn’t happen, just that there are so many other things to consider.

My mom was a stay-at-home mom until I was about 13. She’s said before that mothers who worked often had a snobby attitude toward her because she didn’t work. I don’t know how many of them were feminists, but it was a very common thing from the way she talked, so it’s probably not entirely untrue.
