Call For Papers

The International Journal of Disability Policy and Advocacy (IJDPA) is now accepting submissions for its inaugural issue. As a newly established, peer-reviewed journal, IJDPA aims to serve as a premier platform for scholarly discourse and critical analysis. Our mission is to promote innovative research that informs and transforms policies, practices, and societal attitudes towards disabilities, fostering a more inclusive and equitable world.

We welcome contributions from a diverse range of disciplines, including but not limited to health, education, architecture, public administration, law, human rights, and political science. Manuscripts that offer empirical research, theoretical discussions, policy analyses, and case studies that highlight the experiences, challenges, and successes of individuals with disabilities and their advocates are particularly encouraged. We also seek papers that explore the intersections of disability with other dimensions of diversity such as race, gender, and socioeconomic status.

Submissions are invited on topics such as:

• Disability rights legislation
• Inclusive education
• Employment and economic empowerment
• Transportation accessibility
• Home and living innovation, and the impact of technology on disability
• We also encourage work that examines global perspectives on disability policy and advocacy, providing comparative analyses that can inform international best practices

Proposals should be 300 to 500 words and submitted by July 31, 2024. Decisions on submitted proposals will be made by August 15, 2024. Final manuscripts are due by December 15, 2024. Questions and proposals from within the US should be emailed to lead editor Richard Greggory Johnson III at rgjohnsoniii@usfca.edu. Those from outside the US should be emailed to Joseph Anthony Sehee at joe@socialhealthaustralia.org.
