I read this book because I adore @davidbatherwoods.bsky.social’s work & I loved this book because of his writing & what he’s done here. I now see more kindness in #Schopenhauer & his ideas than I thought possible. Congrats @davidbatherwoods.bsky.social @uchicagopress.bsky.social #Philsky #booksky

Excellent article but stark reminder that for all the perceptions of universities as ivory towers for elites, they are actually vital hubs in towns n cities supporting local businesses and providing key services as well as education….

In this week's @imperfectcognitions.com blog Daria Cybulska presents research showing that skills taught in information literacy are similar to those of conspiracy theorists. imperfectcognitions.blogspot.com/2026/01/info...

Although teaching media and information literacy undoubtedly builds resilience to misinformation and fake news, schools do need to recognise these similarities when teaching, particularly in a time when so many young people are vulnerable to conspiracy theories. #conspiracytheories #medialiteracy

Brilliant article from the fantastic @karensteele.bsky.social Can’t wait to visit her & her wonderful students soon @worcesteruni.bsky.social to talk #philosophy #philosophyinthewild & #theology #teaching #HeroRETeachers #TeamRE Perfect excuse to visit old stomping ground too #marshesfolk

New year. New career? Super excited about this podcast exploring why now is such an exciting time to train to teach RE. Great contributions from @WorcesterUni trainees past and present too. Please share widely. #TeamRE

Is Philosophy an Armchair Discipline? Our co-Director Emma Swinn argues against this idea with Stephen Law in this new paper:

How would #Plato address current questions of the nature of a good life, healthcare, love and friendship, heroism, reality, art, and myth-making? How could he help us engage with contested issues in a more constructive way? Join us Mon. Jan. 5. #Philosophy www.tickettailor.com/events/theph...

Amazing job, @uniwinchester.bsky.social and the EDA and HSS student researchers, actors, writers, film producers on this thoughtful new short film on Austen and the world, available soon on the Jane Austen House Museum website!

Tove Jansson's (1957) illustration from her book 'Moominland Midwinter'. Moomintroll, unlike his family who hibernate, decides to stay up through the harsh winter. It is a tale of endurance, acceptance and learning to live with the discomfort of uncertainty #WomensArt
