I will soon be hosting an interdisciplinary workshop at @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social on "Heritage: A Concept at the Crossroads of Biology and Culture" (Sept 19th), co-organized with Giovanna Targia. Programme here: philevents.org/event/show/1...

Looking forward to starting this new project on Jane Addams, WEB Du Bois, and the social epistemology of folk narratives.

📖🎥 The UM Library’s video series on books has ended, but all 16 videos are can be found online! Featuring Sharon Anyango, @moreba.bsky.social, @tullioviola.bsky.social and @sallywyatt.bsky.social. Watch them all here: tinyurl.com/5n7ynh9n

Take a look at the new website of the "Gendering Sociology" project, a network of Italian scholars (PI Chiara Ferrari, Milan) seeking to broaden the sociology canon by looking at early women sociologists (such as Jane Addams and many others). sites.google.com/view/genderi...

Looking forward to taking part in a round table on the history of philosophy in the Netherlands at the philosophy graduate school's yearly conference in Utrecht, Oct. 3. The conference website has now been published www.ozsw.nl/activity/his...

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers. @tullioviola.bsky.social #WOinACTIE #StakingHO

As Emma Goldman said, if I can't dance, I don't want to be a part of your revolution. @tullioviola.bsky.social #WOinActie #StakingHO #DefendMaastrichtUniversity

Together with Italo Testa and Sofia Alexandratos, we have put together a special issue on "Pragmatism and Anthropology, with contributions ranging from classical American philosophy to contemporary debates. journals.openedition.org/ejpap/4434

While we keep fighting in the NL against cut to higher education, something similar might be happening in Italy. Here's an interview to the rector of Pisa University #WoInActie ilmanifesto.it/zucchi-unive...

Today we went to The Hague to protest against the right wing Dutch government's plan to cut funds to higher education. It was a big, enthusiastic crowd #stopthecuts #WOinActie

It's almost as much fun here on @bsky.app as on Twitter 5 years ago. Hopefully, many institutions like Maastricht University and its Law school follow soon. Our institute is already over, but we could still use some followers. @um-foundations.bsky.social. www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/research/maa...

wonderful talk by Gabriel Abend @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social y'day organized by @tullioviola.bsky.social. GA started off w/ this 👇 legal case, in which one "Judge Locke" (sadly, Jeffrey, not John) espoused a fully Lockean theory of the meaning of the word "sandwich!" casetext.com/case/white-c...

First University-wide debate on whether to cut ties with fossil companies at Maastricht. Not a huge turnout but encouraging participation from @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis

People living in the NL: Is there a secret trick to convince doctors that you actually need antibiotics and you're not just a hypochondriac making up things? After two bad misdiagnoses in a row (on me + my son) I'm starting to feel quite impatient

Fellow UMers: How can/should the UM help the transition to a #fossilfree society? How can/should the UM itself become fossil free? Sign up and join this important discussion at Maastricht University.

I fear we are already desensitized to news like "hospitals are now death zones," one month into this war.

It seems like infrastructural problems in the Maastricht area are a longue durée issue (from @washingtonpost.com )

On the occasion of #WorldAnimalDay, I was interviewed by Romy Veul. It took me from the history of hamsters and rhinos to Ursala von der Leyen's pony: www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/news/how-wil...
