This special issue will be edited by Dr Ian Brittain (Coventry University, UK) and Eli Wolff (Brown University, USA) two leading researchers in the field of disability sport. It is open to submissions from anyone with an interest in the field, regardless of attendance at the Disability Sport conference. The four main conference themes are as follows:
