Abstract
Ιn her 2022 review of David Gissen’s The Architecture of Disability for the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE), architectural and urban historian Wanda Katja Liebermann notes: ‘That this is JAE’s first review of a book on disability confirms architecture’s lag in treating impairment as fundamental to design discourse’.1 This poignant comment can be extended beyond JAE. Despite having sporadically featured scholarship that grapples with bodily diversity and impairment,2 the longest-standing journals of architecture with renowned presence in the field have not yet consistently devoted thematic issues centred on these questions. arq does this now, and Liebermann’s words have prompted us, as curators of the issue, to reflect on our responsibility and the positionality of this special issue on ‘Deafness, Disability, and Neurodiversity in Architecture’ within the wider ecology of architectural publishing.
