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.

Famous quotes containing the words journal, literary, cultural and/or studies:
“How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts—I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if a stranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious—insolent & whimsical I must appear!—one moment flighty and half mad,—the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“There is a difference between dramatizing your sensibility and your personality. The literary works which we think of as classics did the former. Much modern writing does the latter, and so has an affinity with, say, night-club acts in all their shoddy immediacy.”
—Paul Horgan (b. 1904)
“A society that has made “nostalgia” a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
