#PhiDisSocCh6

I've been able to listen in to parts of the first two days of this conference and it has been excellent - thought provoking and expanding.

Lots of great content left today including a panel on resisting ableist practices in philosophy. Join if you can!

Show Your Support for Philosophy Disability, and Social Change 6 (#PhiDisSocCh6) With Jonathan Wolff’s retirement earlier this year, came the end of Oxford University’s support for the Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change conference series. Henceforth, the primary sponsors/funding bodies of Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change are the Center for Ethics and Department of Philosophy at The University of Central Florida. Nevertheless, the team behind Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6 is working to raise additional funds and institutional support in order that we can put in place all of the accessibility provisions that we deem important. So far, we have an additional funding commitment from the Philosophy Program at CUNY Graduate Center. Would you like to contribute funds to Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6 and be acknowledged in our promotional materials as a sponsor of this important event? Any commitment of funds, big or small, would be enthusiastically welcomed! Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6 (#PhiDisSocCh6) will comprise presentations by disabled philosophers and our allies whose cutting-edge research challenges members of the philosophical community to (1) think more critically about the metaphysical and epistemological status of disability; (2) closely examine how philosophy of disability is related to the tradition and discipline of philosophy; and (3) seriously consider how philosophy and philosophers contribute to the pervasive inequality and subordination that disabled people confront throughout society. This sixth edition of the conference series will highlight the diversity and range of approaches to critical philosophical work on disability and showcase the heterogeneity with respect to race, gender, nationality, sexuality, gender identity, culture, age and class of the community of disabled philosophers and philosophers of disability. If you would like to find out how you can support Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change 6, please email me as soon as possible at s.tremain@yahoo.ca. The draft program for this year’s edition of Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change is here. Thanks for your consideration, Yours in struggle, Shelley Lynn Tremain, lead organizer of Philosophy, Disability, and Social Change per Organizing Team: Jonathan Beever Johnathan Flowers Melinda Hall Julie Maybee Jamie Morris ### Share this: * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Like Loading... ### _Related_
