Footnotes

This essay is from my talk for the Inaugural Lebowitz Prize for Philosophical Achievement and Contribution session at the 2013 APA Eastern Division meeting, where my co‐winner Eva Kittay and I took new directions in our decade‐long dialogue about who people with disabilities are. John Churchill, Secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, introduced us, and Tom Hill moderated the discussion. I am enormously grateful to Mrs. Eve Lebowitz for establishing this prize; to the APA Committee on Lectures, Publications, and Research and LPR's Chair Sally Scholz; and to the joint APA/Phi Beta Kappa Award Committee.
