Image of majestic lecture hall that is also a library with a packed audience of students and faculty. Speaker is Prof Doron Dorfman and you can see a powerpoint slide with the title "Access" at the top as well as an ASL interpreter to the right of the speaker.
It was such a delight for the Georgetown Disability Studies Program to host Prof. Doron Dorfman to talk about his award-winning paper, "Third-Party Accommodations." It sparked many fruitful conversations about the ADA and how it could be epanded! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
It's wild to watch US academics uphold the politics of civility as the country dives headlong into fascism. #politics #fascism #academia
I am so excited to join the Georgetown-Howard Center for Medical Humanities and Health Justice (MHHJ) this year as a faculty fellow to carry out research for my project, "Promoting Health Equity through a Networked Model of Disability." #disability #AI #healthcare #bioethics #medicine #publichealth

Honored to be giving a lecture followed by a workshop on my research at Universität Bonn in Frankfurt. It's an exciting opportunity to develop a line of inquiry that takes accessibility as the principle underwriting all human rights. #disability #accessibility #disabilityrights #humanrights
The faculty of the Disability Studies program at Georgetown University, which I direct, just released a statement on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s horrific, ignorant, and ableist comments about autism. #disability #Autism #neurodiversity #disabilityrights #HHS #media #journalists
If you haven't joined AAUP, now is the time!!
Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

So great to work with lead Jessica Marengo on this study showing that (i) transplant professionals harbor inconsistent conceptions of physical function vs. physical disability & (ii) this may contribute to disparate access to solid organ transplant for those with physical disability. #disability

They are standing next to an employee from the bookstore who is holding their book, "The Life Worth Living: Disability, Pain, and Morality."
Grateful to all those who came out for my talk and book signing as part of USC's Visions and Voices series! Special thanks to Sabrina Derrington, the Keck School of Medicine’s Humanities, Ethics, Art, & Law Program, USC's Provost's Office, and the Center for Bioethics at Children's Hospital LA.
Relatedly, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be doing more work on disability and AI in healthcare as a 2025-26 Faculty Fellow of the Georgetown-Howard Center for Medical Humanities and Health Justice. More about my project, "Promoting Health Equity through a Networked Model of Disability," soon!
If you are concerned about the (current and potential) impacts of AI use in healthcare for disabled people, take a look at this piece I co-authored now out in Nature Medicine: "Health AI Poses Distinct Harms and Potential Benefits for Disabled People." #disability #medicine #AI #justice

The paper presents the view of a subset of that conference's OB/GYN's, endocrinologists, geneticists, psychologists, and bioethicists (represented by yours truly), the upshot of which is: we are far from any sort of ethical implementation of PGT-P.
Funded by the NIH, its aim was to build an initial framework for the consideration of the ethical, legal, and social implications of such screening.
I'm excited that "Promises and Pitfalls of Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Polygenic Disorders (PGT-P): A Narrative Review" is out online-first in F&S Reviews. This comes from the 1st Conference on Polygenic Embryo Screening (Sep 2023).
#Disability Bluesky, go follow @jphildis.bsky.social, the first journal devoted to the field of philosophy of disability. The 4th issue just dropped (everything is open access), and it's a banger!
Screenshot of the webpage for the journal "Puncta - Journal of Critical Phenomenology" with a multi-colored rock formation in the background. It specifies the special issue: Volume 7, no. 2: Symposium on Joel Michael Reynolds' The Life Worth LIving: Disability, Pain, and Morality.
Over the moon that a review symposium on my book, The Life Worth Living, is out in Puncta: Journal of Critical Phenomenology. It is such an honor to receive this sort of critical engagement and to respond to it. puncta.journals.villanova.edu/index.php/pu... #disability #philsky #phenomenology

Ordered my copy today and looking forward to reading it!
Many thanks to the fantastic team at Puncta, especially Martina Ferrari, for their work and steadfast support on the production side of things.
The pieces by Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Susan Bredlau, Helen Fielding, Ann Murphy, Rachel Elliott, David Morris, Becca Longtin, and Laura McMahon push research at the intersection of Merleau-Ponty scholarship, disability studies, and phenomenology forward in novel and exciting ways.
IT'S OUT! 🤩 A special issue of Puncta - A Journal of Critical Phenomenology on "Fits and Misfits" that I co-edited with the fantastic Gail Weiss. So excited for it (all 144 pages!) to be published open access!
