The Dynamics of Epistemic Injustice
Epistemic injustice refers to the injustice that a person suffers specifically in their capacity as a knower--i.e., as someone who produces, conveys, or uses knowledge. Epistemic injustice occurs every day when members of non-dominant groups are not included or taken seriously in conversations or social representations due to individual or societal biases. Epistemic injustice is inherently connected to epistemic power and epistemic agency: understanding and addressing epistemic injustice allows us to better understand and address epistemic power and agency, and vice versa. Yet, despite vast and rich discussions of epistemic injustice, which often invoke the notions of epistemic power and epi...
Epistemic Injustice and Violence
The practice of philosophy has led to both emancipation and exclusion in society. Questions around how philosophy should be practiced, who should engage in it, and with which issues philosophy should deal are subject to debate and controversy. This volume is dedicated to the special role of epistemic injustice and violence in philosophy. By shedding light on the inherent unjust structures of academic philosophy, the contributors to this volume help to better understand this powerful tool that impacts the academic landscape as well as individual and collective ways of being. From graphic novel to philosophical essay, they design a concept of transformative philosophy and offer various entry points to the conversation.
A Political Theory of Territory
Margaret Moore offers a comprehensive normative theory of territory. She provides an account both of the nature of rights to territory and of the nature of the right-holder, considering the arguments that might justify state territory as well as the appropriate relationship between the state, the people, and the land implied by that justificatory argument.
The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability
The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability is a revolutionary collection encompassing the most innovative and insurgent work in philosophy of disability. Edited and anthologized by disabled philosopher Shelley Lynn Tremain, this book challenges how disability has historically been represented and understood in philosophy: it critically undermines the detrimental assumptions that various subfields of philosophy produce; resists the institutionalized ableism of academia to which these assumptions contribute; and boldly articulates new anti-ableist, anti-sexist, anti-racist, queer, anti-capitalist, anti-carceral, and decolonial insights and perspectives that counter these assumptions.

Portraits d'institutions culturelles montréalaises. Quels modes d'action pour l'accessibilité, l'inclusion et l'équité ?
En brossant le portrait de dix institutions culturelles jouant un rôle considérable dans la vie culturelle québécoise et montréalaise, il s’agit tout d’abord pour nous de comprendre comment de telles institutions peuvent répondre à des revendications contemporaines à la justice, notamment celles relevant des concepts d’accessibilité, d’inclusion ou d’équité. Il s’agit également d’une occasion d’aborder les modes d’actions culturelles alors qu’ils sont au plus près des publics, en saisissant certaines des transformations qui se sont opérées au sein de ces institutions, en termes organisationnels, esthétiques ou des formes d’intervention. Il s’agit finalement d’un levier pour outiller l’action des institutions, afin de mettre en lumière certaines pistes que cette action peut emprunter. Résultant d’un projet de recherche-action participative mené de 2016 à 2019 avec plus d’une vingtaine de partenaires, dont les dix institutions étudiées, ces portraits mettent en question le sens de l’action institutionnelle contemporaine et ses conditions de possibilité.

Thomas Aquinas on Bodily Identity
This is a study of the union of matter and the soul in the human being in the thought of the Dominican Thomas Aquinas. At first glance this issue might appear arcane, but it was at the centre of polemic with heresy in the thirteenth century and at the centre of the development of medieval thought more broadly. The book argues that theological issues, especially the need for an identical body to be resurrected at the end of time, but also considerations about Christ's crucifixion and saints' relics, were central to Aquinas's account of how human beings are constituted. The book explores in particular how theological questions and concerns shaped Aquinas's thought on individuality and personal...
Liberal Self-determination in a World of Migration
Liberal Self-Determination in a World of Migration develops and defends a theory for why some children and some adults have a right to citizenship in a liberal state, and why adult citizens have a moral right to design and implement their own immigration arrangements. It also discusses the moral duties that liberal states have in the areas of asylum, family migration, and skilled migration, with surprising implications regarding who exactly has a moral right to be included on a permanent basis in a liberal state.
Immigration and Democracy
How should we think about immigration and what policies should democratic societies pursue? Sarah Song offers a political theory of immigration that takes seriously both the claims of receiving countries and the claims of prospective migrants. What is required, she argues, is not a policy of open or closed borders but open doors.
