Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies

The Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies (JLCDS) is an international interdisciplinary journal, which focuses on cultural and especially literary representations of disability.

Containing a wide variety of textual analyses that are informed by disability theory and, by extension, experiences of disability, it is essential reading for scholars whose work concentrates on the portrayal of disability in literature.

More broadly, it is instrumental in the interdisciplinarity of literary studies, cultural studies, and disability studies.
JLCDS was founded in 2006. It was launched at the Inaugural Conference of the Cultural Disability Studies Research Network, Liverpool John Moores University, 2007. It moved to Liverpool University Press in 2009.

With an editorial board of 50 internationally renowned scholars, it is edited by Dr. David Bolt, Lecturer in Disability Studies and Education in the Graduate School, Faculty of Education at Liverpool Hope University. The Book Reviews Editor is Simone Chess, Wayne State University.
