Florida friends! I look forward to giving a talk Thursday at the University of Central Florida on my book, The Bioethics of Enhancement.

The talk, entitled “Human Enhancement? A Disability Rights Perspective,” will be Thursday, 9/28, from 4:30 to 6 pm in the Psychology Building, Room 226.

I’m very pleased to announce the publication of my most recent article, “Obscured Social Construction as Epistemic Harm”, which appeared today in the Journal of Social Philosophy. It’s part of a special issue entitled “Reshaping the Polis: Toward a Political Conception of Disability,” guest edited by Shelley Tremain. All of the articles look fantastic and I can’t wait to dig in.

Check out the TOC.

I was so honored to be interviewed by Shelley Tremain in the 28th monthly installment of the Dialogues on Disability series, hosted by the Discrimination and Disadvantage blog. Our conversation was posted this morning! It covers all kinds of topics, including my experiences with anxiety, the social construction of disability, disability in the university, and my recent academic work.

The Discrimination and Disadvantage blog hosted a symposium this week on my book. The commentaries from recent Author-Meets-Critics sessions this spring at philoSOPHIA and the Canadian Philosophical Association were posted one-by-one and my response to them was posted today.

At the top of each post are links to all the commentaries, written by Catherine Clune-Taylor, Jane Dryden, Ladelle McWhorter, and Shelley Tremain. After reading what folks have to say, check out my response!

Thank you so much again to the commentators and to Shelley for organizing the panels and symposium! The IJFAB Blog also has a post up about the symposium.

I’m looking forward to the panel on my book, The Bioethics of Enhancement, to be held this Wednesday at the Canadian Philosophical Association (Congress) in Toronto.

Thanks to Shelley Tremain, who organized the panel, and to the commentators (who I also had the pleasure of working with during last month’s book panel): Ladelle McWhorter, Jane Dryden, Catherine Clune-Taylor, and Shelley. Thank you, again, to each of you! I’m thrilled to reconvene!

I’m looking forward to the panel on my book, The Bioethics of Enhancement, to be held this Saturday at philoSOPHIA in Boca Raton.

Thanks to Shelley Tremain, who organized the panel, I’ve been lucky to receive incredible and helpful comments on my work and related issues from: Ladelle McWhorter, Jane Dryden, Catherine Clune-Taylor, and Shelley. Thank you to each of them! I can’t wait.

Thanks to Luke Ford for interviewing me for the latest episode of Salt Talks. I had a great time discussing the theme of disability and gaming! We talked about the treatment of disability in games and some of the ways gaming is political and can have impacts on disability rights, inclusion, and exclusion. Check it out!
