This will stick with me: "to think anew, to think differently, to think hard about what world we live in and the one we want to live in. Thinking of this kind is exactly the inverse of AI, which summarizes and reduces, and reifies existing knowledge and practices as truth".
As debates over Plato and censorship resurface, this article asks what Socratic dialogue can offer a diverse, polarized democracy—and why philosophers matter now more than ever.

Mid-career in academia is tough. So I’m really pleased we’ve opened the call for @britishacademy.bsky.social mid-career fellowships. These free you from commitments for a period of 6-12 months, to devote to the completion of a major piece of research www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/mid-...

job losses are no joke, but the epic steelworking imagery in the news today is giving Star Wars.
Thanks for the support and energy!!
It’s finally happening!! Cambridge’s newest journal, Public Humanities, is an open access journal at the intersection of humanities scholarship and public life. Submissions are now open for its inaugural Manifesto Issue, edited by journal co-founders Zoe Hope Bulaitis and Jeffrey R. Wilson.
Some actual bright and wonderful news from academia—huge thanks to @zoebulaitis.bsky.social and Jeffrey Wilson for guiding this incredibly needed venue! (And thrilled to be a tiny part of it)
Thank you! So grateful to everyone who is making this happen and will contribute to the making of it! (Including yourself 🙂)

Google seems to have got itself in a muddle (slash fake news) about which Paul won the Booker Prize 2023 tonight
I had beta covid in March 2020, so that was WAY WAY worse with no vaccines. This is time three. I apparently am a good host for the virus it seems. Still, I am lucky to know I will likely be getting better after a few bad days, and term will have to catch itself up somehow :) Thanks for the support!
hi!
thanks Miles, it hurts everywhere.
I am so sorry Michael, I am finishing off a book dedicated to a deceased colleague, who started the project, and it is so hard to read those words again and see the truth of loss committed to paper. I can only imagine how it must be for a closer relation. Sending support.
Thanks Sameen, it's not the ideal start to term I'll be honest.
Thanks Sandro! Trying to remember the feel of fresh air in my cave like present
I like using tools like mentimeter to gather questions and responses from the room and then get students to chat to the person next to them about them adding thoughts in a kind of plenary
Last week I climbed a small mountain, this week I have Covid and am in bed. Highs and lows literally and metaphorically.
It was so nice to see you.
yay! Fred is great. (hi Fred!)
wait, so I skeeted by accident in my first post, just by osmosis? So on trend, love that.
You can and should!
