Our new open book will revolve around the tenuous concept of crime (as a limit) in light of: – the lives and works of artists & philosophers subjected to criminalisation/persecution – or who happened to become artists/philosophers as a result of criminalisation/persecution – or also the motives found in their works that will help us […]

Quote of the Week (and It’s Only Thursday): Barnes, Self-Importance, and Epistemic Oppression
It’s hard to believe that Elizabeth Barnes continues to position herself as a credible authority with respect to critical philosophical work on disability and even philosophy of disability more formulaically defined. But here we are. In a contribution to a series of summer guest posts at Daily Nous, that is, Barnes has done exactly that. […]
