As Editor of Philosophical Psychology I am delighted to announce that Peter Finocchiaro & Timothy Perrine won the Lex Academic® Essay Prize for Understanding Linguistic #Discrimination with their free access paper, “Linguistic justice in academic philosophy” https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2023.2284243 This is part of the journal's ongoing commitment to #justice and #diversity in academic #philosophy@philosophy
What's this? What's this?! A new page on the #Bywgraffiadur website presenting our growing list of names and some info on the #Diversity project?
If you fancy writing a short biographical article about any of the people included in the list, or would like to suggest new additions, please get in touch!
Who produced the idea of "people with disabilities"? People who made a living working for advocacy groups that spoke for disabled people, which however well intentioned, is infantilising and patronising, or groups led by and for disabled people?
Who needed to invent linguistic constructions to remind themselves disabled people were human? The dominant majority of the oppressed minority?
Thank you for the compliment that you find my argument odd. If the positions were different and I was telling you your ideas about sexism and lived experience were odd and confusing, I would consider my behaviour patronising.
I wish you many more encounters with disabled people who challenge your implicit bias from a position of power.
@LutherBlissett13@_bydbach_@academicchatter I’ve worked with many for over 20 years and had this experience myself. It’s not patronizing to say I find your argument to be ahistorical and therefore inaccurate. It’s your position, which is fine, but you’re imposing it as the only way to think and talk. That’s patronizing. Many people with disabilities don’t even agree (or find these arguments silly). Disagreeing doesn’t mean I have an implicit bias.
It takes more than simply hiring someone to address issues within an organization. It takes a top-down commitment to be part of that change. –Lecia Michelle
@actuallyautistic#diversity#inclusion I had an opportunity today to talk about the importance of inclusion. I found a video by Bank of Canada that really nails it:
I really wish everyone understood that everyone has the right to be themselves, and learning acceptance is a small effort that makes us all better people! As an aspie who is so fortunate to be able to be themself, thanks for taking the time to read this. My ASD is what makes me, and I am lucky to be free to embrace it freely. To all those around the wide, diverse world, I hope the same for you.

You’re truly One of the Kind is an adorable picture book about diversity and cherishing our individuality. It shares a sweet message of confidence, love and friendship. I love how Sonali Patodia uses Indian mythology and culture to explore all these concepts.
