To all who participated, thank you for being part of the celebrations, and for inspiring us for the next 10 years!! (Lots of folks are missing from the picture, but you know who you are, and thank you!)
Lots more to come, including some of the recorded talks from the conference... Stay tuned!! 😉
That was the one Carnap used on me.
Not as I intended it, but now I don't want to read it any other way!
A new paper of mine, now forthcoming in Noûs!
The first fruits of the postdoc! Check it out if you're interested in ontological nihilism (or just want to know some reasons for thinking that at least something exists)!

Has it always cost so much money to just attend the Joint Sessions?? I don't remember having to pay 180 quid before? That's so much and doesn't even include dinner...
Incredibly excited to host this in-person workshop in St Andrews this summer!
Programme and registration details will be on the website in due course. www.st-andrews.ac.uk/arche/event/...
Looking after this little lady for the week! Equal parts cute and distracting!
There's still time to respond to our CFA for the DRL Anniversary Conference! Don't miss the chance to join us in Manchester from July 2 to 4 to celebrate 10 years of the DRL and look forward to new projects, ideas and challenges in diversifying philosophy!

Here's a new paper of mine, forthcoming in Analysis. It's on two ways of making precise the distinction between truth in vs. truth at a possible world.
Check it out if that sort of thing floats your boat!

Here's a new paper of mine for those who might be interested. "Modality, truth and mere picture thinking". Excitingly enough, it's my first published piece on truth in vs. truth at a possible world, which is what I did my doctoral thesis on.

The OUP ebook pdfs are always so awful to read. Just a huge wall of tiny text and little silly brackets telling you when you're really on a new page. Don't understand why and surprised I haven't heard more people complain about them.
