The Jewish community in Norwich is tiny, so this strange group was unavoidable when we lived there. Disturbed to learn that it's probably a dangerous cult and not just a weird example of cultural appropriation. www.thejc.com/news/uk/syna...

This should be of interest to any social scientist who ever had trouble with ethics review, and any ethicist who ever wondered why ethics review has so little to do with ethics. It was a great workshop which I was proud to attend. www.gla.ac.uk/schools/soci...

🎄🎅 From tomorrow until Christmas we'll post a sovereignty-themed advent calendar. After all Levia-clause is sovereign! He makes law determining who is naughty or nice and dispenses justice, giving gifts to some and punishing the others (taking away bad kids to the forest, in some traditions).

Looks like the University of Sydney will need a philosopher to co-teach every course, interrupting the main lecture to “make the meaning of contested words and phrases clear." amp.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

You, boy! Which UK university has declared itself in financial crisis today?

Centuries from now, an annoyingly pedantic historian of political thought will point out that one cannot POSSIBLY understand any political philosophy from 2024 unless one remembers that, as we all know full well, The Cambridge School officially switched to BlueSky from X on 18 November of that year.

Hi, new academic followers! Let's give the collective practical wisdom of this thing a test drive: What's the best and/or cheapest platform for collecting conference fees? The events team at Glasgow wants us to use Eventbrite, which charges 7% and may not even get us the funds before the conference.
