Last featured in the 10-18-2019 Scout Report, the Disability History Association continues to provide important resources and materials for the study of the history of disabilities and related social movements and policies. Since being featured, the association has added a blog, All of Us, to its menu of offerings.
With a focus on promoting the study of disabilities throughout history, the Disability History Association (DHA) helps users learn more about perspectives on disability, related social and civil rights movements, policy and practice history, and a host of other associated topics. As an international concern, DHA membership is open to individual scholars as well as institutions and organizations from all over the globe, meaning the wealth of resources and materials collected and shared on the site come from a rich variety of places and people. Of particular interest to users will be the site's disability history podcast (accessed by clicking "Podcast" in the menu at the top of the page), which covers recent work from within and beyond academia. For example, an August 2019 episode focuses on disability, spirituality and alternative medicine. The episode features Dr. Michael Davis of Hampton University discussing his research on the Wright Brothers and Edgar Cayce. Users can access a regularly updated bibliography of books, articles, and dissertations on disability history by clicking "Scholarship," or explore further "Digital Resources" in the Resources drop-down menu.
