Call for chapters: Disability in dialogue

Proposal deadline (extended): Feb. 1, 2020

This is a call for an edited volume on Disability in Dialogue. We invite ch=
apter proposals (1500-200 words) that employ discourse studies methodologie=
s to analyze disabled dialogues and dialogues about disability for a volume=
 of interest to dialogue, communication, disability and discourse scholars.

Everyday dialogues are consequential. Spoken, written and digital discourse=
 in conversations, public hearings, assessment measures, social media sites=
, organizational manuals, and institutional policies defines disabilities, =
grants certain bodyminds access, and excludes others. It is through dialogu=
e as embodied inter-action that disability dis/appears and that disabled id=
entities are constituted and that we experience ableism and manage impairme=
nt. Disability is also a way of knowing. Disabled dialogues realize our und=
erstanding of dis/ability and communication.

As with =91disability,=92 there are many discourses of =91dialogue.=92 For =
us, =91dialogue=92 calls attention to interaction (whether face-to-face, di=
gital, or temporally distant), asymmetries (of knowledge, status, access), =
dilemmas, tensions, problems, voices, and affective experience. Analyzing d=
isability in dialogue is a method for theorizing these and other dimensions=
 of discourse to account for disabled ways of knowing, thinking, perceiving=
, and being in the world.

This collection was first conceived in light of the following questions. Ho=
w might we center disabled perspectives to theorize dialogue? What sorts of=
 ways of communicating does disability afford? How does disability shape di=
alogue and vice versa? What does it mean to identify as disabled, to claim =
an experience in terms of disability, to belong within a discourse, to acce=
ss a diagnosis? How does the dis/appearance of disability rearrange the pas=
t, present, and future and redefine relationships and experiences? What kin=
ds of moral accounts accompany disability in dialogue? What might be the  p=
ower of dis/ability and what sort of power is it? How is ableism constitute=
d in dialogue? What kinds of dialogic moments have the most potential to di=
smantle ableism and make the world a more inclusive place for all bodyminds=
?

We invite chapters that raise these and other questions about disability in=
 dialogue. Chapters should start by defining dialogue and then offer empiri=
cal analyses that pay close attention to spoken, written, and/or other semi=
otic forms that constitute dialogue, in order to guide us in an examination=
 of the consequentiality of disabled dialogues and discourse about disabili=
ty.

Submission proposals are due February 1, 2020 and should include

  *   Name(s), affiliation and contact information of author(s)

  *   A 150  word bio

  *   Chapter title

  *   A 1500- 2000 word description of your proposed chapter plus reference=
s

Notices of acceptance will be sent by March 31, 2020. Full chapters are due=
 October 1, 2020.
