On the DL: Athletes, Athletics, and Disability is the title of a proposed essay collection that will read competitive athletics through a disability studies lens. Given the myriad definitions of “sport” across the globe, On the DL is interested in compiling a wide variety of theoretically-engaged analyses of sporting culture. In addition to traditional academic approaches to this topic, On the DL invites submissions that take the form of memoir/autobiography, photojournalism, or any other innovative non-traditional format. Again, however, all submissions must articulate rigorous, clearly defined theoretical angles on their subjects.
