Special Issue on New Conversations in Feminist Disability Studies
August 15, 2013 submission deadline
Volume 30, Issue 1, Winter 2015
Edited by Kim Q. Hall
Hypatia: Journal of Feminist Philosophy is seeking new work for a special issue on disability with the general
theme of New Conversations in Feminist Disability Studies. In 2001 Hypatia published its first special issue on
feminist philosophy and disability. Since that time, there has been a great deal of disability scholarship in
feminist and queer theory. A new special issue provides the opportunity to consider interventions, innovations,
and transformations in feminist theory occasioned by theories and concepts that animate feminist disability
studies, disability studies, queer disability studies/crip theory.
Within philosophy, much of the discussion of disability has occurred in the areas of bioethics, ethics of care,
and social and political philosophy. This work remains crucial for furthering philosophical understanding of
disability. In addition to these areas of philosophy, this special issue seeks to provide a space for new feminist
philosophical analyses of disability, as well as new feminist, queer, and feminist queer crip conversations
between scholarship on disability in ethics and social and political philosophy and scholarship on disability in
epistemology, science studies, environmental philosophy, ecofeminism, queer ecology, aesthetics, critical
race theory, metaphysics, phenomenology, and queer theory. Papers on any topic pertaining to feminist or
feminist queer crip analyses of disability are welcome, including (but not limited to) the following:
-Disability and Phenomenology
-Disability and epistemologies of ignorance
-Disability, gender, race, class, and sexuality
-Disability, national identity, and nationalism
-Disability and/as “assemblage”
-Disability and the question of “the animal”
-Disability and posthumanism
-Disability, ethics, and politics
-Disability and globalization
-Access, accommodation, quality of life

-Disability, feminist materialism, and “agential realism”
-The relationship between impairment and disability identity
-Illness, disease, impairment, bodily limitation, pain, failure
-Disability and the meaning and/or experience of sex and gender, transgender, and intersex
-Disability and orientation/ reorientation/ disorientation of understandings of time and space
-Disability, feminist materialism, and “agential realism”
-Disability and critical analyses of science, scientific knowledge, nature, and human nature
-Feminist/queer/crip perspectives on the Occupy Movement and other global movements for economic,
environmental, social, and political justice
