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.
