The Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies
The Journal of Literary Disability was founded by the editor Dr. David Bolt in 2006. It was launched at the Inaugural Conference of the Cultural Disability Studies Research Network, hosted by Liverpool John Moores University in 2007. In 2009 the publication moved to Liverpool University Press under the new name Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies. It expanded to three issues per year and print as well as online formats. It was selected for the Project MUSE collection and found an institutional base in the Centre for Disability Research (CeDr), Lancaster University. It is now edited, on a permanent basis, in The Centre for Culture and Disability Studies at Liverpool Hope University.

“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
“These studies which stimulate the young, divert the old, are an ornament in prosperity and a refuge and comfort in adversity; they delight us at home, are no impediment in public life, keep us company at night, in our travels, and whenever we retire to the country.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
