Conference organization and planning continues! Yesterday, I met with Melinda Hall (School of Interdisciplinary Studies, University of Central Florida-UCF) and Jonathan Beever (Center for Ethics, University of Central Florida-UCF), as well as Jamie Morris, our illustrious tech expert who resolved some outstanding questions with respect to the platform and logistics of the conference. We are fully on track for, and excited about, the upcoming conference.

I am currently putting together the program of the conference and the schedule of presentations. I will post the program in a couple of weeks and registration for the conference will open at that time. The UCF Center for Ethics and UCF Department of Philosophy–the sponsors of this edition of the Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change conference series–will also be advertising #PhiDisSocCh6 on their webpages, distributing flyers, etc., with the assistance of interns at the UCF Center for Ethics.

In advance of the complete and final program, I can at this time give you some exciting details about the latest iteration of this pathbreaking conference series:

Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6 (#PhiDisSocCh6) will unapologetically take place entirely online from 10am to 4pm ET January 28-30, 2026. As always, the conference will be free and open to everyone.

Some highlights of the upcoming conference will be: a panel on disability, technology, and AI; a session on Foucault and disability, to commemorate the centennial of Foucault’s birth; a panel on disability and disposable bodies; a panel on anarchism, Marxism, fascism, and disability; a workshop on trans philosophy and philosophy of disability; and a roundtable on the exclusion of disabled philosophers.
