Disability Blog Carnival Announcement

In 2007, I signed up to be host for the Disability Blog Carnival for the first time. Unexpectedly, I had to cancel that carnival – or precisely, it didn’t show up and no-one knew why -, because of my acute hospitalization. Now, still hospitalized but with a relatively stable Internet connection, I am giving it a chance again: I will be your host for the September Disability Blog Carnival.

I debated with myself long about the theme: would I go with my 2007 would-be theme – “Transitions” -, or would I choose something different? Eventually, in line with my BADD post, I decided to pick the theme “Identity”. Think of it as broadly as you want. Posts relating to transforming identities, are of course especially welcome, as they honor both themes. Just a reminder that, even though this is a disability blog carnival, we honor intersectionality, so racial, ethnic, gender, sexual and any other type of identities also count, as long as the post is somewhat relevant to disability.

Comments can be submitted preferably here or else at the Disability Studies, Temple U. blog. The deadline for submissions will be Tuesday night, September 21 – Tuesday night your time, so don’t worry about my living in Europe. I hope to post the carnival on Friday, September 24 – whenever it suits me, my time.
