A mega book symposium (covering two books on an overlapping - and in political philosophy, neglected - issue - that of food - healthy eating and justice for animals). Will go on line early and be assigned to an issue in a year or so.

University lecturers: please students don't just use AI and actually challenge yourself to read and write and understand things. Every piece of software used in the learning process: here is an AI assistant so you don't need to read or write things yourself. (This one is from ProQuest Ebook reader)

Are you writing on animals and (non)violence? Are you interested in getting it published in the Journal of Pacifism and Nonviolence? If so, I have brilliant news for you: I'm putting together a Special Issue on Animals and (Non)violence! Details here: brill.com/fileasset/do... #polisky #animalsky

Why would one cut funding for food safety tests including dairy, which we know are a major health threat, and also try to ban synthetic dyes, which are not a known health threat? Hint: it's ideology not science. @garrettbroad.bsky.social & I wrote about it last month: newrepublic.com/article/1933...

The fun thing abt my job is sometimes I have no idea what will be plopped onto my agenda—which is to say, I got roped into writing about the new wolves. They're neither dire wolves nor "de-extincted," & they have more to do w/ enacting human fantasies than helping animals www.vox.com/future-perfe...
