This is the kind of article APSR used to be famous for. The ones that make your brain explode, that challenge you, confuse you, test your patience, and make you smarter by making you realize your limitations. Well done Erica Simmons and @nickrushsmith.bsky.social‬ πŸ‘

Screen capture of the first bage of an article in American Political Science Review, reading as follows:
Title: "They Attend Strictly to Their Own Business": Disability and the Construction of the Worker-Citizen
Ann K. Heffernan, University of Michigan, United States

Contributing to a growing interest in disability in political science, this article makes the case for the central role of disability in upholding the belief in work as requisite for full citizenship. Turning to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it shows how disability and the figure of the disabled worker were used to fortify emergent understandings of work against the changes wrought by industrial capitalism. Focusing on three sites of disabled laborβ€”the school-based workshop, custodial institution, and industrial factoryβ€”it reveals the crucial ideological work performed by disability in sustaining the myth of the independent worker-citizen. Where existing scholarship has focused on disability either as an identity category or as a target of rights and policy, this article models an alternative approach, arguing for the relevance of disability as a concept that is integral to, and productive of, the ways we understand citizenship and political belonging.

We’re launching this track after a year of editorial experience. While aiming to publish excellent work, we’ve seen strong but focused papers struggle in review. This track is meant to support theory- or empirics-heavy work and shift reviewer expectations accordingly.

πŸ“’ The APSR is opening a new Research Notes track!

Authors may now submit directly as Notesβ€”or, with editor agreement, have papers reclassified during review. Notes should be ≀7,000 words (excl. refs/appendices).
