Philosophy, Disability and Social Change 5 is free, will unapologetically
take place online, and is open to everyone! This conference is co-organized
by Shelley Tremain and Jonathan Wolff, with the support of the Blavatnik
School of Government at Oxford University.
Philosophy, Disability and Social Change 5 (#PhiDisSocCh5) comprises
presentations by disabled philosophers 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 year’s conference will feature a pathbreaking roundtable of disabled
philosophy students (facilitated by Will Conway and T. Virgil Murthy), who
will address the social and political implications of merit as an academic
value; a recurring roundtable of disabled philosophy faculty (facilitated
by Johnathan Flowers and Melinda Hall), who will jointly identify the
mechanisms that produce the continuing exclusion of disabled philosophers
from the profession and critical work on disability from the discipline;
and several panels of fascinating presentations on topics such as African
philosophy of disability, neurodiversity and Madness, and the politics of
eating.
In its entirety, Philosophy, Disability and Social Change 5 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.
The conference program is provided below. All times shown are in GMT (UK
afternoons). Captioning will be available.
