Transactions of the IsisCB: Disability and the History of Science

Issue 1.10

How do interests in disability and the history of science relate? This is the question at the center of Osiris 39 and it is the theme of this issue of Transactions. In their introduction to the volume, the editors—Jaipreet Virdi, Mara Mills, and Sarah F. Rose—find that the “history of science has largely been missing from…burgeoning conversations about disability taking place across the history of technology, medicine, and design, as well as media studies and STS” (p. 17).

This point is confirmed by what I have seen in the CB database—there aren’t very many citations tagged with Disabilities; disability; accessibility (just 315) and even fewer tagged with Disability studies (23) or other possibly related concepts.

Contributors to Osiris 39 carefully limit their intervention to “disability history,” differentiating it from the “history of disability,” which they locate in the histories of medicine and education. Their point in making this distinction is to say that “disability” is not just a passive phenomenon to be studied. Rather, they argue that it has been a dynamic force in history, creating novel social relations and ideas.

I was intrigued by this claim and took it to the CB playground to see how our citations and indexes might line up with the historiography the editors outline. I plotted the two concepts mentioned above (Disabilities; disability; accessibility and Disability studies) against the History of medicine as a discipline, looking for areas of overlap and divergence.

The first thing I noticed about this graph is that the bulk of the overlap is turquoise and light blue, corresponding to time periods and places but not persons or concepts. To my mind, this suggests that there have been incidental, but not substantive, links between these fields. I got similar results when I plotted the “Disabilities; disability; accessibility” tag against that for the “History of medicine, as a discipline.” In both cases, the only concepts held in common pertain to topics in the history of public health and psychiatry. But when you hover on nodes around the edges of these diagrams, you find concepts further afield: Masculinity, Children, Colonialism, Biographies, and so on. This pattern lends support to the claim that historians of science have so far missed the opportunity to engage disability as a “tool of analysis,” to quote Cathy Kudlick.

In order to prepare this Osiris volume, the editors analyzed presentations given at HSS annual meetings over the last ten years, roughly 200 in all. This showed an uptick in papers on disability around 2015, and greater representation of the “soft sciences” versus “applied” and “basic” research. Comparing the table the editors provide (see below) with timelines of publication dates in the CB raises interesting questions about how scholars sequence presentations and publications.

Adding to these preliminary observations, the featured citations below have been chosen to complement and extend the historiographic analysis presented in the volume’s introduction, “Disability, Epistemology, Sciencing,” into neighboring domains. I flag literary studies here, in particular. I hope these will be useful!

—Judy Kaplan, Editor

Featured Books

The sociological foundations of disability history are emphasized in a critical and self-reflexive way in the most recent volume of Osiris. Among Disability Studies scholars there is a corresponding emphasis on the way in which the field emerged from sub-sections of the Modern Language Association’s Disability Studies Discussion Group (DSDG) during the mid-1990s. The titles below highlight this complementary relationship with literary studies.

Featured Articles

The editors of Disability and the History of Science make the point in their introduction that historians of technology and medicine took “disability history ‘turns’” well before historians of science. While disability history surely blurs the lines between these sub-disciplinary groupings, the point is reflected in the CB citations tagged with “Disabilities; disability; accessibility.”
