Theological Reflections: Eastern European Journal of Theology

Dear colleagues, the Editorial Board of “Theological Reflections: Eastern European Journal of Theology ” invites papers that reflect on disability in Eastern European context.

The problems of people with disabilities affect not only doctors and therapists. In the twentieth century, they drew attention of sociologists, philosophers, and cultural critics. What began as a movement for a decent independent life for veterans of the two world wars turned into a movement for the rights of a minority that was systematically pushed to the periphery of public life. This resulted in changes in the legal and social spheres. In the early 1980s, the foundations were laid for a whole new field - disability studies. And in the 1990s, the field attracted the attention of theologians.
