From Weaving Our Worlds: This resource list was produced in March 2026, less than one week after the US and Zionist entity launched attacks against Iran — manufactured through lies, orientalist propaganda, sanctions, regime-change rhetoric, and monarchist fantasies — in the middle of diplomatic negotiations and killing over 1000 people (and counting) and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. These imperialist attacks come […]
Robert Chapman on Gramsci, Madness, and Fascism
Gramsci on Madness and Fascism: Hegemony and Sanist Slurs By Robert Chapman Mad and neurodivergent people on the left often find ourselves in purportedly inclusive spaces where ableist and sanist language nonetheless circulates casually, most often as a way of dismissing political opponents. Words like mad, insane, or moronic are deployed as if they were […]
Disabled Feminist Academics Are Marginalized, Exploited, and Excluded in Every Context and at Every Level of the University
As readers and listeners of BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY have witnessed, many, if not most, of my posts on the blog are concerned to identify the mechanisms, practices, and strategies by and through which the exclusion of disabled philosophers and the marginalization of philosophy of disability are produced. To take just one example, in a recent post, […]

Quote of the Week: MAiD, Bioethics, and the Culture of Eugenics in Canada
In a host of posts at BIOPOLITCAL PHILOSOPHY (for e.g., here, here, and here), in my monograph Foucault and Feminist Philosophy of Disability, in “Disaster Ableism, Epistemologies of Crisis, and the Mystique of Bioethics” (my chapter in The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability), and in my forthcoming article in Feminist Philosophy Quarterly, I have […]
(My Presentation to) Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6
The sixth edition of the Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change conference series that took place this week was outstanding, exceeding the expectations of the organizing team in every aspect.

The Chat conversations were […]
About the Ableism That Conditions Your Criticisms of Zoom (Again)
Due to the APA’s recent decision (go here and here) to eliminate online participation in its conferences and to the number of feminist and other philosophy conferences that have reverted to exclusionary in-person-only formats, I’ve reposted (from June 2022) this explanation of how ableism undergirds the veneration and continued production of in-person-only philosophy conferences and […]
Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6 (#PhiDisSocCh6), Unapologetically Online, Jan. 28-30, 2026, 10am ET-4pm ET
The Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change conference series is, by many accounts, the best, the most exciting, the most informative, the most progressive, and generally the most important event on the philosopher’s calendar. This year’s edition of the conference series promises to be as vital as, if not even more vital than, past editions of […]
APA Tells Disabled Philosophers to F*ck Off (In a Manner of Speaking)
Earlier this week, the American Philosophical Association (APA) announced that it would discontinue its 2+1 experiment, the “experiment” whereby one of its three annual conferences would be held online and hence be accessible to disabled philosophers and other groups of philosophers otherwise excluded from the association’s events. You can read the stated rationale for this […]
Forget Emily in Paris. We’ve Got Jason in Toronto.
You may have watched the most recent episodes of “Emily in Paris,” but did you catch the recent Toronto Star op-ed “Jason in Toronto”? “Emily in Paris” is a Netflix series, several years old, about an American fashion consultant who takes dreary old Paris and Rome by storm. It is a series whose treatment of […]
