As I indicated in an earlier post, I am the Area Editor for Philosophy and Theory of Disability of The Oxford Research Encyclopedia in Disability Studies that Oxford University Press is developing for its Digital Reference Publications.

I am very happy to report that the formation of the area is well underway and that many of your favourite disabled philosophers/theorists of disability have committed themselves to contributing to this forthcoming reference reservoir for your research and teaching. Indeed, most of the topics that the area will comprise have been assigned, with authors already immersed in writing their entries.
