Here is a list of some upcoming philosophy of disability events:

September 9, 2023: I will give a virtual presentation entitled “Reproducing Eugenic Injustice” in a plenary session at the Hypatia 40th Anniversary Conference. Information about the conference, registration instructions, and the full conference program are available here.

December 14-15, 2023: The 4th edition of Philosophy, Disability and Social Change, the online conference that I co-organize with Jonathan Wolff with support from the School of Government at Oxford University, will take place over these two days.

This year’s conference will have a somewhat different format than its first three editions. First, Philosophy, Disability and Social Change 4 will include a book launch of The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability, the groundbreaking book that I have edited. The launch will comprise presentations by several of the contributors to the book. If you haven’t already done so, you can pre-order the book here. The book launch will include book prizes!

Second, this year’s conference will also include a roundtable whose participants (presenters and attendees) will aim to identify the mechanisms that produce the exclusion of disabled people (faculty and students) from philosophy and strategies to resist and subvert this exclusion.

January 15-18, 2024: A symposium on my work in philosophy of disability will take place at the Eastern APA in New York, New York. Julie Maybee and Catherine Clune-Taylor will be the commenters in the session.

This symposium has been organized in ways that will minimize its contribution to climate change. I will travel from Toronto to NYC by train. Maybee and Clune-Taylor were selected as commenters in the session in part because they live in the NYC area.

January 19, 2024: After the Eastern APA, I will travel by train to Syracuse, New York to give a public lecture hosted by The Central New York Humanities Corridor, a consortium of regional university and college humanities centres in the state of New York. Information about The CNY Humanities Corridor is here. A reception will follow my lecture.

Both the session on my work at the Eastern APA in NYC and The CNY Humanities Corridor lecture in Syracuse have been organized by Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson, who has also made my travel and accommodation arrangements and secured additional funding for my participation in these events. I am tremendously grateful for Verena’s support and solidarity. For additional information about these events, please contact Verena at verlenbu@syr.edu.
