It was a busy Fall insofar as I was preoccupied with the last production stages of The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability. December rolled around and the publication of the book took place on the 14th, which publication coincided with Philosophy, Disability and Social Change 4 on the 14th and 15th. Then, January was upon us and I presented (via Zoom) in a symposium on my work in philosophy of disability to the Eastern APA in NYC and in turn travelled to Syracuse to present one of my critiques of bioethics under the rubric of philosophy of disability to the Central New York Humanities Corridor.

Throughout these events, we have kept BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY running as the place to get the most radical and cutting-edge info about philosophy, including CFPs, posts by Mich and Axel, announcements about the Bloomsbury collection, and installments of the Dialogues on Disability series.

The coming months into Spring will come alive too. I have a number of writing commitments with respect disability and Foucault that I aim to accomplish. So, you likely can expect to see fragments of this writing on the blog. Mich will be busy too, overseeing the final stages of the groundbreaking special issue of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly that they have guest edited, among other things. The issue has an April release date.

Nevertheless, BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY will continue to do its work:

Another very exciting interviewee is scheduled for Dialogues on Disability next month. Their interview will get posted to BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY as regularly scheduled, that is, on the third Wednesday of the month. In April, two special guests will join me for the ninth-anniversary installment of the Dialogues on Disability series, an installment in which we will consider the insights and outlook of the interviews from the past year.

I am delighted to announce, furthermore, that next month Professor Tracy Isaacs will contribute a guest post to the blog on the theme of (I believe) the connections between meat consumption, (toxic) masculinity, and ableism.

I am also delighted to announce that later this Spring, Professors Elena Ruiz and Nora Berenstain will contribute a guest post to BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY on aspects of their work on colonialism and structural violences.

Finally, in May, a symposium on Professor Robert Chapman’s recent book Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism will be held on the blog. The participants in the symposium will be: Professors Amandine Catala, Mich Ciurria, Jane Dryden, Johnathan Flowers, and Sofia Jeppsson.

Stick around! Surprises are expected!
