Please join me on Wednesday, August 18, for the 77th installment of Dialogues on Disability, the critically-acclaimed series of interviews that I’m conducting with disabled philosophers and post here on the third Wednesday of each month.

The series is designed to provide a public venue for discussion with disabled philosophers about a range of topics, including their philosophical work on disability; the place of philosophy of disability vis-à-vis the discipline and profession; their experiences of institutional exclusion and personal and structural gaslighting in philosophy, in particular, and in academia, more generally; resistance to ableism, racism, sexism, and other apparatuses of power; accessibility; and anti-oppressive pedagogy.

In the upcoming installment of the series, I talk with a disabled philosopher about the relation between autism diagnosis and access to ESL; ableism and the backlash against technology amongst philosophers; the dearth of philosophical work on infrastructure; ableist professors and the need for mentors; and much, much more!

If you missed last month’s fabulous installment with Will Conway, you can find it on BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY here.

The entire Dialogues on Disability series is archived on BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY here.

From April 2015 to May 2021, I coordinated, edited, and produced the Dialogues on Disability series without any institutional or other financial support. A Patreon account now funds the series, enabling me to continue to create it. You can contribute your support for these vital interviews with disabled philosophers at the Dialogues on Disability Patreon account page here.

As a settler, I acknowledge that the land on which I sit to conduct these interviews is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg, covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and directly adjacent to Haldiman Treaty territory. I offer these interviews with respect and in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island and other colonized settler states.
