Call for Papers:

Call for Papers, Special Issue: “Towards a neurodiverse sociocultural
linguistics”
Editors Ayden Parish and Kira Hall

Neurodiversity, understood as the range of human cognitive and
neurological variance, has been classically marginalized as only of
interest through a medicalized, pathologizing lens. The neurodiversity
movement, however, advocates that these differences should not be seen
as biomedical entities to be first and foremost cured, but as
variation to be accommodated and as lived experiences whose
perspectives should be recognized and valued. Across the social
sciences, neurodiversity-affirming approaches have come to demonstrate
that a sociocultural angle is necessary, both in order to improve
theorization of neurodiverse conditions and also to bring a new
critical eye to current theories that only account for normative
relationships with language and sociality. Crucially, these critiques
make important steps in asserting the agency of neurodivergent
individuals. We hope to further enrich these discussions with specific
attention to sociocultural linguistics as a site for neurodiverse
intervention.

We invite papers for a special topics issue on neurodiversity to be
submitted to Language in Society. Our aim is to demonstrate the
necessity of incorporating neurodiversity into the study of language
in social life and to showcase the productive new directions
engendered by such approaches. We welcome a broad vision of
neurodiversity that includes not only neurodevelopmental disabilities
such as autism, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome, but also other
neurological conditions like dementia and aphasia, as well as mental
illnesses, including but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, and OCD.

We are interested in papers from a diversity of disciplinary
viewpoints, including linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics,
socially-oriented discourse analysis, crip linguistics and related
perspectives, among others. Possible topics include:
 - Analyses of interactions amongst neurodiverse speakers
 - Ethnographic approaches to language and embodiment in neurodiverse
communities
 - Discourse analytical approaches to the construction of
neurodiversity and neurotypicality
 - Critical reframings of traditionally pathologized linguistic
behaviors such as echolalia or “disorganized” speech
 - Other creative, socially-oriented approaches to the intersection of
neurodiversity and linguistics

We are especially interested in hearing from early career scholars and
those examining neurodiversity’s intersections with race, gender,
sexuality, and other disabilities.

If you are interested in submitting a paper to the special issue,
please email an abstract of up to 500 words by January 8th to the
editors. Full drafts of selected papers will be due in May of 2024.
Please feel free to write the editors with any inquiries: Ayden Parish
(ayden.parish at colorado.edu) and Kira Hall (kira.hall at colorado.edu).
