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.

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 🔥

@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...

Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.

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

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…
