Work was conducted in 7 work packages (WPs). WP1 was devoted to project administration, including continuous project management, organizing conferences (most notably the panel “Disability and Justice” at the MANCEPT 2024 Conference), teaching and training activities, and other project-related events. WP2 was the work package dedicated to research. The goal of WP 2 was to produce three papers suitable for submission to prestigious philosophy journals. WP2 far exceeded its expectations as it produced five papers altogether, among which one (“Religion as Disability,” related to the Action’s third objective) has already been accepted by the most prestigious academic book publisher, Oxford University Press, another (“Structural Discrimination Through Ignorance”) has a very good chance of being accepted by a top ten general philosophy journal, a third one (“The Human Variation Model: A Defense” related to the Action’s first objective) is currently under review by a highly prestigious disability studies journal. The fourth paper (“Social Responsibility for Causing Disability Disadvantage,” related to the second objective) will be submitted soon to a leading political philosophy journal, while the paper "Disability Disadvantage and Discrimination: A Human Variation Perspective" will be submitted shortly to a top general philosophy journal. Lastly, during the Fellowship, two papers were produced that are not part of the Action but have significantly contributed to its success and impact. The first is a review essay on Jessica Begon’s book, Disability Through the Lens of Justice (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2023), which the critically acclaimed political philosophy journal Ethical Theory and Moral Practice has already published online. The second paper, which delves into the question of disability and sport, will be a chapter in an Oxford Handbook that will be published in 2026.
WP3 was devoted to teaching in the third semester of the Fellowship period and consisted of teaching the PhD summer course “Disability, Discrimination, and Justice” in August 2025. WP4 and WP5 comprised the dissemination and communication activities of the Action. During the Fellowship, the works-in-progress of the Action were presented at ten conferences from Vienna to Montreal, and the Action’s results will be communicated continuously. WP6 comprised training activities, which included participation in specific workshops and seminars. WP7 consisted of the secondment of the project that took place at KU Leuven in Belgium between March 2025 and May 2025, significantly contributing to the Action’s impact. Altogether, the WPs of the Action will foreseeably lead to five prestigious publications related to the Action, plus two unrelated to it, and their communication, which will significantly contribute to establishing the Fellow's position as an expert in the philosophy of disability and discrimination. In contrast, training activities enhanced the Fellow's employability outside academia.
