It is prompted by ongoing concern that the voices of disabled women in the Arab world, their allies and their representative organizations are seldom heard.   We wish to consider the lives of disabled Arab women in relation to contemporary debates about disability and society. We are interested in papers which explore ways in which disability is being experienced by Arab women. We also have in mind the concerns of women who are m others of disabled children or practitioners working to support disabled women and girls. In this Special Issue we hope to provide the opportunity to share research and critical thinking on a wide range of topics, which will increase knowledge and understanding of Women & Disability in the Arab World.   We would welcome submissions on:   Experience of disabled Arab women Issu es raised by mothers of disabled children Policy agendas relating to disabled women in the Arab world Education for disabled Arab girls and women Access to work for disabled Arab women Community and identity matters Sexuality and desire of women with disability Family, marriage and motherhood < li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;text-autospace:none'>Changing frontiers of social care Conflict, women and disability Disability and ageing in the lives of Arab women Images of women and disability Perspectives on women and disability in an increasingly globalised world     The above list is not meant to be exhaustive and we encourage contributors to be creative in their interpretation of topics which open up new conversations about Women & Disability in the Arab World.   We are particularly keen to receive papers that will make visible the origins and significance of disability in the lives of Arab women, challenge assumed deficit images of disabled women's lives and / or suggest strategies for challenging the barriers which lead to disablement where marginalization and oppression of Arab women and girls is observed.   In addition to academic papers we would also like to include conference reports, interviews, book reviews, student perspectives and disabled women's arts news. Please send suggestions for possible inclusion to the Guest Editor before February 29th, 2012.   Submission Procedure   Complete manuscripts should be prepared in English in MS Word and adhere to the manuscript submission guidelines.
