ALTER is a peer-reviewed European journal which looks at disability and its variations. It is aimed at everyone who is involved
or interested in this field. ALTER is an emblematic Latin word for all forms of difference, leaving open the question of their nature
and expression.
An inter-disciplinary journal
First and foremost, interdisciplinarity means remaining open to all human
and social sciences: sociology, anthropology, psychology, psychoanalysis, history, demography, epidemiology, economics, law, etc. It
also means a connection between the different forms of knowledge - academic and fundamental - applied and relating to the experience
of disability.
A cross-disciplinary journal
Research on disability and its variations constitutes a transversal axis
which opens the review up to a multitude of approaches and problematic. It covers matters ranging from the individual to the environment,
from impairment to participation, from discrimination to the exercise of citizenship... ALTER looks at all the questions examined in
human and social sciences, be they social, economic, political or health related.
A European journal
The European dimension
means having a multicultural outlook; it means well-argued comparisons and useful scientific controversies that go beyond national boundaries.
