• Telling Ourselves Sideways, Crooked and Crip

  Vol. 5 No. 3 (2016)

  Stories about us are boring. As predictable and ubiquitous as they are dangerous, normate narrations of our lives are as straight as they come: one-dimensional narratives of tragic loss and/or progressive normativity. We are dying or overcoming. We become a burden or an inspiration. We desire vindication or marriage. Our entire narrative worlds are defined by our Otherness, yet revolve around the normates and the normative. These stories cut straight to the point, using—and used as—well-steeped, easily readable metaphors bolstered by the requisite piano-based musical cues. If we didn’t know us better, we would bore us.

  Cripping Cyberspace: A Contemporary Virtual Art Exhibition Curated by Amanda Cachia

  Vol. 2 No. 4 (2013)

  Cripping Cyberspace: A Contemporary Virtual Art Exhibition is an online exhibition curated by Amanda Cachia. Cripping Cyberspace offers four diverse, newly commissioned projects, exploring the possibilities the virtual platform offers to pave critical space for the disabled subject. This exhibit has been designed to allow for multiple avenues of access: the video interviews or audio descriptions, their transcripts, the artists' statements, the critical perspectives, and the art itself should be seen as equal and integral tools for the cripping of cyberspace.

  What is Canadian Disability Studies?

  This inaugural issue of the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies gathers articles that respond to the following questions:

  Does Disability Studies have a Canadian perspective?  What is unique about Canadian views, methods, and approaches to the field?  Conversely, why does Canada need Disability Studies – in the academy, in policy, in advocacy, in activism?  What are the key works in Canadian Disability Studies scholarship? What are the future directions for this field? What are the spatial, social, cultural, political and economic contexts of Canadian Disability Studies? How is Canadian Disability Studies, a field that defines geographical and disciplinary limits, also an international and multidisciplinary endeavor?  Conversely, how is Canadian Disability Studies conceptualized and received internationally as uniquely Canadian in content and perspective?
