Following the publication of Disability and Art History (Routledge, 2016), the editors seek contributions for a second peer-reviewed volume of essays that center on interdisciplinary art history and disability studies scholarship, to be published by Routledge, as part of the series Interdisciplinary Disability Studies.

Papers may address issues such as the following:
- Specific representations of disability throughout art history, including works by disabled and nondisabled artists
- Portraits of disabled individuals throughout history, with visible and/or invisible impairments
- Scientific, anthropological, and vernacular images of disability and how they have influenced fine art
- Representations that display disability and eroticization
- Performance in the forms of artworks and in the everyday lives of disabled individuals
- Theories and implications of looking/staring versus gazing in disability studies and in art history
- Examples of visual art that represent and/or challenge stereotypes of disability
- Representations of freakishness and the grotesque as they relate to disability studies and artistic production
- Crip studies
- Representations of figures such as the fool, freak, charity case, medical patient, etc., in relation to disability
- Representations of miracles, martyrdom, or asceticism in relation to disability

Topics relating to disability and art history from eras before the 20th century are encouraged, as well as those that address art outside Western contexts and traditions.
