UWE Philosophy – the BA course I’ve had the privilege to design, lead, teach, and defend over the years – has just reached the silver medal in the Guardian League Table, the UK’s most comprehensive university ranking system. An extraordinary achievement, and one we’re immensely proud of.
I'm pleased to share that my new monograph, "Springs of Justice: The Power of Solidarity to Build a Better World" (working title), is under contract with Oxford University Press.
Thought in Action continues with yet another screening and discussion on Thu 27 Feb (from 3pm). This time, we'll retrieve an absolute gem: Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. With amazing speakers, students, and friends. Not to be missed! @wshed.bsky.social

Thank you!
Spent my bday teaching Hegel, Marx, and Arendt all day—and it was great! My first-year students surprised me with cake, fruit, and this card that truly warmed my heart. Wishing them all the best in becoming evil prince(sse)s who will rule this run-down world and transform it into something glorious!
Is this going to be live streamed or recorded? Thanks.

Daily Mail front page “Starmer declares war on benefits Britain”
Chart showing Britain’s benefits are just a third of the OECD average, and the lowest in Europe
Anyone who thinks our benefit system is too generous, has clearly had their common sense surgically extracted by the Daily Mail.
Losing your job is financially catastrophic (esp for mortgage payers, who drop to just 12% of an average wage overnight). And our sickness benefits bill is similarly mean.
“This is a watershed event in the history of international justice. The ICC has never, in over 21 years, indicted a pro-Western official. Indeed, no international court since World War II has done so."

Online seminar recap. Planned: 10' talk + Q&A with 4 respondents (me included). Reality: chair late, talk ran 30'. Two brief responses, one MEP gave a 30' random speech and left. Main speaker spoke another 25'. Time ran out before I could say a word. #badchairing?
Great event Friday at @wshed.bsky.social! Loved seeing students/alumni discuss #WorldPhilosophy. I shared thoughts on metaphorical uses of decolonisation (Tuck/Yang/Ricoeur). Huge thanks to @stellasandford.bsky.social, Adam Loughnane, Tzuchien Tho, and Katrina Mitcheson for chairing! #UWEPhilosophy
