Our amazing BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY blogger, disabled philosopher Mich Ciurria, has co-edited an inter/transdisciplinary collection entitled Liberation at the End of Usefulness: On the Intersections of Disability, Animality, and Earth with Amanda Williams and Nathan Poirier. The book is forthcoming from Palgrave Macmillan and is due out at the end of 2026.

The book now has a publisher’s page at Palgrave MacMillan. You will find the page here: https://link.springer.com/book/9783032365491

I have copied the publisher’s highlights and description of the book below:

• Brings together disability justice, animal liberation, and environmental resistance under one analytical frame
• Centers lived experience and activist voices alongside academic theory
• Offers policy implications, movement strategy, and visions of solidarity across species and social groups

This book gathers essays at the intersection of disability justice, animal liberation, and environmental resistance. With a focus on dismantling interlocking structures of oppression, contributors explore how dominant ways of knowing and organizing life on Earth pathologize difference, punish interdependence, and legitimize the exploitation of marginalized beings. From critical veganism to abolitionist perspectives on human and more-than-human labor, the volume traces a shared logic of disposability across systems of oppression—and imagines alternatives rooted in care, relationality, and the refusal to be useful. This book challenges readers to confront the unnatural hierarchies that structure modern life and invites a rethinking of liberation that centers the most marginalized—across species, bodies, and worlds.

Pre-orders of the book will be made possible soon! Keep checking the book’s page at Palgrave Macmillan!
