Issues

“Resisting Ableism, Queering Desirability” is a joint special issue from Kohl Journal and the DisAbled Women’s Network of Canada (DAWN). It stems from a collaboration that started with Kohl and DAWN co- facilitating a workshop titled “Ableism in Queer Communities: (Re)Queering Desirable Bodies and Minds” at the first LBQ Women’s Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, in July 2019. This issue is shaped by the contributions and collective thinking of our workshop participants and our communities, to whom we feel deeply connected in power and gratitude.
