Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Convention on the rights of persons with Disabilities (CRPD) Enable. (n.d.). Retrieved August 26, 2021, from https:\/\/www.un.org\/development\/desa\/disabilities\/convention-on-the-rights-of-persons-with-disabilities.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an international human rights treaty that came into force in 2008. The aim of the convention is to promote and protect the human rights of persons with disabilities, and it covers a vast array of rights including accessibility, recognition before the law and legal capacity, and the rights to family, education, health and work, among others. The negotiations and development of the CRPD were unlike previous treaty-development processes,  <\/span>as those people protected by the treaty (people with disabilities from around the world) played a crucial role in creating the focus, shape and content of the document. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian Journal of Critical Disability Studies<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian Journal of Critical Disability Studies. (2020, June 10). Retrieved from https:\/\/jcdsi.org\/index.php\/injcds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indian Journal of Critical Disability Studies<\/i> (InJCDS) is an open-source, online, international peer-reviewed journal published twice a year (January and July).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

InJCDS<\/i> focusses on bringing forth original research on disability issues that emerge from examining both the political and the personal aspects of individuals, collectives, and the systemic. InJCDS<\/i> is interested in arguments against or in favour of the idea that both the universal and the specific are essential. InJCDS<\/i> is especially keen on research highlighting the unavoidable intersectional dimensions of class, gender, caste, hemisphere (with a focus on south Asia), and technology in relation to disability. We encourage constant questioning of binaries, of categories, of foundational positions of others and ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

InJCDS<\/i> is the journal of Critical Disability Studies in India (CDSI) society that was founded in 2012 and has been organising intensive reading sessions in and around universities since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
