DISABILITY AND THE VICTORIANS

Series editors

Dr Julie Anderson, Professor Walton O. Schalick, III

This series published by Manchester University Press responds to the growing interest in disability as a discipline worthy of historical research. The series has a broad international historical remit, encompassing issues that include class, race, gender, age, war, medical treatment, professionalisation, environments, work, institutions and cultural and social aspects of disablement including representations of disabled people in literature, film, art and the media.

Esme Cleall is a lecturer in the Department of History, University of Sheffield and is a social and cultural historian of the British Empire. Her work explores the relationship between ethnicity, religion, gender and disability across different sites of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century British Empire, including India, southern Africa and imperial Britain. Her first book, Missionary Discourses of Difference, was published with Palgrave in 2012 and she has since produced several articles on disability and deafness.

Iain Hutchison (co-editor) is a Research Associate at the Centre for the History of Medicine at the University of Glasgow and a board member of the Disability History Association. His main research interests concern the experience of mental, physical and sensory disability in Scotland across the long nineteenth century.

Marjorie Lorch is Professor of Neurolinguistics in the Department of Applied Linguistics and Communication, Birkbeck College, University of London. She researches how language is organised in the brain through the investigation of neurogenic language and communication disorders. One strand of her research focuses on the nineteenth-century history of ideas about language and communication and its relation to thought.

Amy W. Farnbach Pearson is a historical anthropologist at the Health Sciences Center, University of New Mexico and a Research Affiliate at the Center for Bioarchaeological Research, Arizona State University. She investigates Western medical concepts of health and disease and doctorpatient relationships.

Fred Reid is Honorary Professor in History at the University of Warwick. His research interests are various, including British labour history, history and literature, and all aspects of blindness. He himself became blind at the age of fourteen. As well as his academic work, he has served as President of the National Federation of the Blind, as a trustee of the Royal National Institute of Blind People and on the executive boards of the Disability Income Group and the Disability Alliance.

Jaipreet Virdi (co-editor) is Assistant Professor in the Department of History, University of Delaware. Her work intersects the history of medicine and disability history. Her first book is Hearing Happiness: Fakes, Frauds, and Fads in Deafness Cures (University of Chicago Press).

Joanne Woiak is a lecturer in the Department of Disability Studies, University of Washington. Her research interests encompass the social justice implications of knowledge about genetics, reproduction and health in the modern era. She focuses on disability in American and British history and culture, including the history of eugenics and sterilisation, discourses about alcoholism, science fiction and disability pedagogy.

You know a subject has achieved maturity when a book series is dedicated to it. In the case of disability, while it has co-existed with human beings for centuries the study of disability's history is still quite young.
