Fellowship applications for fall internships have been submitted. If awarded, it wouldn’t change much for me except that I’d be relieved of my teaching obligations next semester. If you’re willing, please say a prayer that I receive one so I can devote more time to my dissertation.

Hello, friends! I have a new blog post out that praises an article by Leonard D’Cruz. He critically examines Michel Foucault’s attempt to historicize epistemological conditions while avoiding the pitfalls of transcendental philosophy.

When we bring DEI back and throw all the little Hitlers in prison, we’re going to have a mandatory social sciences class debunking IQ and the pseudoscientific witchcraft that the right enjoys so much. Also, what is a high-agency person?
