As the year comes to a close, a review of some of our favourite posts from the year seems apropos. Yet the list below is by no means exhaustive of the fantastic posts made at BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, especially insofar as the list does not include any of the wonderful Dialogues on Disability interviews that I post to the blog on a monthly basis nor does it include any of the important announcements, CFPs, etc. that the BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY bloggers produce. Regular readers and listeners of BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY know that all the installments in the Dialogues on Disability series can be found in the series archive here and that CFPs and other announcements can be easily retrieved by scrolling through the posts of the blog.
Without further ado, the links below will take you to some of the most memorable 2024 posts of BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, starting from the earliest in the year to the most recent.
