Statement of Purpose: The Disability History Association seeks to define both history and disability widely, recognizing that it includes, but is not limited to: the history of individuals or groups with disabilities; historical perspectives on disability and related concepts; historical representations and constructions of disability; policy and practice histories; histories of social and civil rights movements; disability theory, including disability as an historical analytic; public and oral history projects; and pedagogical practices. The DHA is both inclusive and international, which is reflected in the diverse topics, approaches, and commitments of its members. It offers a community of active and interesting historians; a blog and podcast; access to curated resources for research, teaching, and related advocacy work; and opportunities for publication awards and professional development support.
