We're also going to be playing an adapted version of the Wandering Library, which you can play solo right now for free: ap-cartography.itch.io/the-wanderin... Just to emphasise how quick and easy it is to get into this hobby!

Tomorrow I'm giving a workshop on roleplaying games and mental health, where I'm going to discuss some of my thoughts on why they are effective and try to get some of the attendees to play! It's in-person only and fully booked, but you can see my slides here: jodie-russell.co.uk/2026/04/06/r...

Just a reminder that the deadline for our CFP is this Friday (March 20th)!

Woke up sick as fuck and I don't mean in the really cool way

Postdoc roles are being advertised for the project Expressing Value in Language (EVIL) at Bristol, and while it’s not in my area of expertise I do like the thought of transitioning over from EPIC to complete my villain arc 😈

Save the date (25 March 2026) for a workshop at Warwick on 'When knowledge isn't power', with an amazing line of speakers: Heather Widdows, Fiona MacCallum @fimaccallum.bsky.social, Kate Kirkpatrick @philosofemme.bsky.social, Kathleen Murphy-Hollies @kmurphyhollies.bsky.social, and Quassim Cassam.

I’ve been here all of 5 minutes and already been asked which is a better city, Liverpool or Brum. As if such a comparison is possible - Brum all the way!

On my way to Liverpool today to deliver a talk as part of the Stapledon Colloquium! Will be my first time in “The ‘Pool” (do you guys call it that?) and also cool to visit the home of philos-L

I don't believe in fate or destiny but I've just found out about a workshop on RPGs and wellbeing in my home town (which is nowhere very significant) and on my mum's birthday! Something things just align so well you just can't ignore them!

Incredibly excited to be working with PHaR on this conference! I attended their conference last year and had an absolute blast. Please do apply to present if you can!

Finally out! TLDR: People don't feel shit cause they believe wild conspiracy theories, they believe CTs cause they feel shit. CT beliefs are often confabulations explaining their existential predicament. I drew on LOTS empirical stuff to try & make this defeasible: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I wish Kevin McCloud would do a Grand Designs episode on this rather than another affluent couple making a house that’s way too big (and super ugly)

We had the second session today of our de Beauvoir reading group on “Old Age” and we talked about old people having sex (you read that right), classism, and Victor Hugo’s bed

Read my post for the APA blog, Rules of Engagement: blog.apaonline.org/2025/11/10/r... Arguing that epistemologists can join impactful interdisciplinary projects that contribute to improving social interactions #philsky #philpsy #philosophyforeveryone #epistemicinjustice #philosophymatters

give it 18 months and there will be three papers addressing this salient question

Today I'm writing about Severance, de Beauvoir and freedom (yes, all in one paper!) The more I think about it, the more in awe of this show I get...

Hard relate!

Come and work with me! :D

We've got some amazing speakers lined up and a broad range of topics. It's going to be a very stimulating and interdisciplinary discussion so please join us if you can!

This involved understanding how mental health professionals can support or prevent young people from feeling understood when they seek help. Epistemic injustice in clinical encounters is where one party has more authority and risks the other party’s contribution being sought or valued.

fuck Harry Potter, yes, but also can we get a second one of these films. Everyone wants more Jarnathon!

Big congrats to everyone in team #ProjectEPIC for bringing this together (especially Fred for coordinating us like an expert orchestra conductor!) It was a very cool thing to be a part of and I hope it goes on to shape further health policies!

"A philosophical exercise every month!" That's what I do & review on my blog philosophicalexercises.blogspot.com . Whether it be Contemplation of death, Jhana meditation, Postural Yoga, Befriending the Ancients, etc. I identify cool philosophical practices, I try them & I tell you about it #philsky

Special issue of Philosophical Quarterly on epistemic injustice, guest edited by Mona Simion:

In the second session people only asked me how to get into psychology where people study criminals 😂 Oh well! But I got an excellent q on the fawn and mountain lion video: if the fawn was actually lying, would it still have been an injustice? I told them to study philosophy for an answer instead!

We also talked about epistemic injustice using a video from The Philosophy Garden @lisabortolotti.com and talked about when adults don’t take us seriously!

Running a taster day on Psychology for year 9 students today so naturally I’m teaching them about phenomenology! Opened up to Q&A and one of them asked me how much I earn 💀
