Professor Riddle receives prestigious Clark Award
“Riddle’s many books and articles have made a significant impact on these fields by exploring interdisciplinary connections, supplementing and applying a prominent theory of justice in fruitful ways, and addressing some of the most pressing social issues of our time.”
Christopher Riddle, professor of philosophy, has been named the 2022 recipient of the prestigious Harold T. Clark Jr. Award.
He is the author of Disability & Justice (Lexington/Rowman & Littlefield, 2014), Human Rights, Disability, & Capabilities (Palgrave MacMillan, 2016), and the editor of From Disability Theory to Practice (Lexington/Rowman & Littlefield, 2018).

In 2020, he was a visiting scholar at the Hastings Center in New York, and in 2016 he was a visiting researcher at the Brocher Foundation in Switzerland.
He has published in numerous journals, including The Journal of Social Philosophy; Bioethics; The American Journal of Bioethics; Medicine, Health Care, and Philosophy; Essays in Philosophy; Topoi; and Disability Studies Quarterly.
Adam Cureton, former president of the Society for Philosophy and Disability, said, “Riddle’s many books and articles have made a significant impact on these fields by exploring interdisciplinary connections, supplementing and applying a prominent theory of justice in fruitful ways, and addressing some of the most pressing social issues of our time.”
