SUMMARY:Call for Applications: 2026 Disability History Association Research for Justice and Equity Award
DESCRIPTION:2026 Research for Justice and Equity Award \nThe Disability History Association (DHA) is committed to promoting innovative scholarship in disability history\, pursuing justice and equity\, and supporting the disability history community in countering different forms of oppression\, including ableism\, racism\, and colonialism. The DHA is therefore excited to announce our third annual Research for Justice and Equity Award.  \nThis $500 (US) award is intended to support a scholar engaged in disability history research whose work embodies this commitment to justice and equity and strives to engage communities. “Research” is defined broadly. In addition to traditional academic work\, it could also include such activities as blogging\, exhibit curation\, or public presentations. Post-secondary students at all levels of study\, community-based scholars\, and precariously employed researchers are particularly welcome to apply. \nPreference will be given to disability history projects that engage directly and thoughtfully with underrepresented historical topics and/or historically marginalized communities. These may include (but are certainly not limited to) disabled\, Mad\, neurodiverse\, Deaf\, or chronically ill communities\, Black\, Indigenous\, or Global South communities\, and/or LGBTQI2S+ communities. \nIn addition to honoring the awardee’s important presence in the disability history community\, this award is meant to provide support for their research. For example\, the awardee may wish to use the money to travel to archives or conferences\, carry out oral histories\, build a website\, or facilitate public presentations or community-based projects. \nTo apply\, candidates should prepare an application of no more than 1000 words that includes: \n\nan explanation of their research experience and/or personal experience in relation to disability history and the pursuit of justice and equity\,\na project statement that 1) tells us about the project overall\, 2) explains the project plan\, and 3) explains how the project will make a positive impact on the field of disability history and on relevant communities\,\ninformation about any partnerships (if relevant) and access to additional sources of funding\, and\na budget that specifies how the funding will assist the candidate in carrying out their work.\n\nApplicants may also include a resumé or CV\, but it is not required. The resumé/CV will not count toward the 1000-word limit. Recommendation letters or references are not part of this application and will not be considered by the committee. \nPlease send your application materials to the Chair of the Award Committee\, Dr. Keri Watson at Keri.Watson@ucf.edu. Questions can also be directed to DHA Director of Awards Jenifer Barclay at barclay7@buffalo.edu. Applications must be received by July 1\, 2026. \nThe applications will be evaluated by a diverse committee that includes scholars and disability history researchers who are engaged in their communities. Key evaluation criteria will be: \n\nthe applicant’s previous experience\, especially as it relates to their commitment to the project and their preparedness for it\,\nthe feasibility of the project\,\nthe importance of the project\, both for the field of disability history and for the communities involved\,\nthe project’s focus on community engagement and empowerment\, and\nthe applicant’s access to other sources of funding (preference will be given to applicants who do not have ready access to other funding to help them complete the project).\n\nThe award recipient will be celebrated on the DHA’s website\, social media\, and other communication platforms. Recipients should also plan to share information about the outcome of their project within one year of the award; reporting on the project can take many forms\, including a post for DHA’s blog\, All of Us\, or participating in an episode of the DHA podcast. \n\n\nContact Information\n\nJenifer Barclay\, DHA Director of Awards \n\n\n\nContact Email\nbarclay7@buffalo.edu
