Texas A&M actually tells a philosophy professor he may not teach Plato.

Trump is sullying the good name of the FIFA Peace Prize.

France's 1905 church-state separation law just turned 120! I talked with Katja Bigalke for DLF Kultur about laïcité, religious neutrality, and how recent French laws treat religious minorities unequally.

In October 2023, @bboudou.bsky.social offered me to co-edit a handbook on political theory with him. The publisher wanted it published by September 2025. I thought it was a joke. Benjamin did not. Today, we are very happy to announce the publication of Théorie Politique!

Fun fictional conversation @dailynous.com about what PhD programs are for. Most specifically about philosophy PhD programs but I suspect a lot of it applies to other fields as well.

Je serai en *très* bonne compagnie dans cet alléchant volume, pour un article "Justice" (rien que ça ! 😁), co-écrit avec mon comparse Pierre-Étienne Vandamme de l'UCLouvain (Chaire Hoover) 🤩 (d'ailleurs le post d' @aureliabardon.bsky.social me rappelle qu'on doit encore renvoyer les épreuves ! 😅)

Merci à @aureliabardon.bsky.social, et à @yvesdeloye.bsky.social de nous avoir accordé sa confiance. 1000 pages de théorie politique, pour les étudiants et les collègues ! Plus de détails bientôt, et RDV en septembre 🔥

Alors que la trentaine d'autrices et auteurs qui y ont contribué sont en train de corriger les épreuves de leurs chapitres, @bboudou.bsky.social et moi venons de recevoir la couverture de ce traité sobrement intitulé "Théorie Politique" - à paraître, si tout va bien, en septembre 2025!

@uni-konstanz.de is hiring a professor in political and social philosophy. More details here: stellen.uni-konstanz.de/jobposting/d...

In my new article 👇 I look at strategic litigation from the perspective of democratic theory. A short blogpost summarizing the key points is now online at the AJPS Blog. And here is a short thread:

Here it is! For anyone interested in cultural appropriation, or curious about what 2 political philosophers might have to say about Aladdin, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Victoria’s Secret or Kendall Jenner (all listed in the index)

I'm thrilled to share that @crispp.bsky.social has started to publish a nine-article symposium on my Food, Justice, and Animals and @matteobonotti.bsky.social and Anne Barnhill's Healthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy. First up: This is Tom Bailey's introduction to the symposium. (1/7)

Political theory/philosophy job in our Department! Deadline 26 May. Happy to answer questions by email. werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

Just received the proofs for a paper that I did not write, asking me to submit my corrections within 3 days. What should I have done? Evil answers only.

Aurélia Bardon @aureliabardon.bsky.social and Jennifer Page have just published a great book on cultural appropriation, when (exactly) it is wrong and what we should do about it. Original, enjoyable, and extremeley well argued! www.routledge.com/Cultural-App...

Teaching political philosophy is just explaining again and again that Mill, Mills, and Miller, are different people.

We @unikonstanz.bsky.social are hiring a junior professor in computational social science with a specialization in text-as-data methods and LLMs. Please share and contact me if you are interested! stellen.uni-konstanz.de/jobposting/2...

Best advice ever for PhD students: "It's not your life's work. Every initial thesis proposal is too big and ambitious. Remember: you are not Marx, and this is not Kapital. If it is any good, you will get a job and write other books."

I’m not sure if by this you mean creating a starter pack — but I’ve tried to do that anyway. Happy to add to it. go.bsky.app/44a9u3E

Since it seems like these classics from the bad place are re-circulating here, I humbly present my most (only?) viral post to date: types of political theory paper…

Looking forward to this panel on "Political Legitimacy in Times of Emergency" tomorrow morning at #dvpw2024 in Göttingen. Thank you @aureliabardon.bsky.social for organizing!
