If you will be attending the meeting of the Eastern division of the American Philosophical Association (APA) in New York city from January 15-18, 2024, I hope that you will attend the symposium on my work, entitled “Philosophy of Disability.” This session at the Eastern APA, which is the product of the political and intellectual commitments of Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson, will take place on Tuesday, January 16, at 2pm local time. 

The symposium will be chaired by BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY’s own Melinda Hall. Julie Maybee and Catherine Clune-Taylor will be the commentators in the session.

In my presentation, I will talk about (among other things) the development of my analyses of (the apparatus of) disability, the motivational assumptions of philosophy of disability and its path to recognition as a subfield, what distinguishes philosophy of disability from other work done on disability in philosophy, the exclusion of disabled philosophers, and the political and philosophical struggles that culminated in The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability.

Join us for two hours of problematization and provocation.
