Thoughtful Patron, Sir Stephen Fry, gave a talk for us last week about philosophy in prisons and the public sphere, including schools, explaining in his own inimitable way why philosophy matters and why everyone should have access to it. #betterthanbread

Something I wrote...

So I went to see Collabro last night at Lichfield Cathedral. Not only are their voices SENSATIONAL but they are amazing role models. Watching them sing For Good as a tribute to their friendship is one of the most positive examples of masculinity I've seen in a long time. #collabro

The world may be on fire but it did just get a little better. Thank-you Muppets. #muppets

My review of The Overthinkers' Club: Happy List. A funny, warm book giving an honest, unfiltered perspective on all things tween through the eyes of Birdie... an overthinker. @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social #kidslit #childrensliterature

Todays post is by Daria Cybulska, Director of Programmes and Evaluation at Wikimedia UK. Presenting an exploration of the role of emotion in conspiracy theory. What role does emotion play in driving tendency towards conspiratorial thinking? #philsky #philpsy imperfectcognitions....

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...

Gorgeous Liverpool Albert Docks. One of my absolute favourite cities. #liverpool

Not sure there is much that could be more comforting than a library at Christmas after dark. #libraries #literature #Christmas

Forget the best Christmas film....just the best film of all time period.

My review of Silent Night by Emma Read for @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social Not your average cosy Christmas tale... #kidslit #kidsbooks #childrensliterature

This project was an absolute dream come true, as was meeting the wonderful Sir Stephen Fry who narrated the shows. We had wonderful support from the #philosophy community in this journey to bring critical thinking and #oracy to children no matter what their background. #philosophyforall

What a fantastic event. Congratulations to all involved!

Surely one of the biggest patriarchal flexes is setting up society to make women exhausted, then getting us to spend all our money on products to hide the fact that we are exhausted.

What happens when we misuse medical terms like 'OCD'? This week on the #projectEPIC blog @robbiemorgan.bsky.social writes an excellent post about hermeneutical disarmament. #mentalhealth #philosophy #epistemicinjustice epistemicinjusticeinhealthcareproject.blogspot.com/2025/11/herm...

The Portuguese tell it like it is and I respect that.

In Lisbon for the #GLAMWikiPT and have already been to amazing talks on #openknowledge and #education. Great workshop on #gender with @yclepit.bsky.social. Great tour of the Museum of Lisbon too! The theme of #resilience seems particularly appropriate this year. @wikimediauk.bsky.social

A fantastic day at the Knowledge is Human conference hosted by @wikimediauk.bsky.social and @britishlibrary.bsky.social. Very thought-provoking discussions on the information ecosystem in the age of AI. #openknowledge #artificialintelligence #ai

I will say that every experience I have had with Philosophy at the University of Birmingham has been inclusive and supportive, whether I have been there as a teacher, PhD student or as an ECR. Women can't always say that... so thank-you. #philsky #academicsky

It's official 🙂 wikimedia.org.uk/2025/10/sall...

Excited to share this as I start my new role as Education Lead for Wikimedia UK. I will be developing a programme of information literacy in schools aligned to WUK values of knowledge equity, representation and critical thinking as fake news and misrepresentation become increasingly prevalent.

My latest review for @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social. I've certainly been challenging my own preconceptions about graphic novels for kids. They can be an excellent way to engage reluctant readers and improve literacy. #booksky #kidslit

Our #projectEPIC on #EpistemicInjustice in healthcare is 2 years old, our blog reached 103k views and our open access book had 15k downloads… curious? Here’s our website! epistemicinjusticeinhealthcare.org @jelliedsours.bsky.social @histloneliness.bsky.social @kmurphyhollies.bsky.social #philsky

Gift from students... because apparently I only ever use one example of a tautology and I'm somewhat obsessed with Descartes. 😂 #philsky #philosophy #philosophers #teaching

Just heard from the amazing @simonkirchin.bsky.social that the Philosophy Gets Schooled podcast has reached almost 40,000 downloads. 👏👏 This is such a good resource covering all of the A level spec. I loved recording episodes... never a chore to talk about philosophy all evening! #philsky

I'll be giving an online talk during this event! Arguing that non-narrative individuals face epistemic injustice. #philsky #mentalhealth #philosophy #epistemicinjustice

Very excited to be giving a presentation at @uobphenomenal.bsky.social PhD and ERC Research Day. I'll be arguing for including non-narrative experiences in our understanding of mental health as well as mental illness. You can register for online or in-person attendance. #philsky #mentalhealth

Powerful post on the #ProjectEPIC blog today from co-investigator Havi Carel summarising her recent article in the Lancet on her experience of organ transplant and radical bodily doubt: epistemicinjusticeinhealthcareproject.blogspot.com/2025/08/radi... #healthcare #epistemicinjustice #phenomenology

This week on the #projectEPIC blog a fantastic post by Shené de Rijk on toxic positivity and epistemic injustice, a topic close to my heart! epistemicinjusticeinhealthcareproject.blogspot.com/2025/08/toxi... #philosophy #philsky #epistemicinjustice #EPIC

Remembering that lovely time I got to take a selfie with Bertrand Russell. ❤️ #throwbackthursday #philosophy #philsky #philosophers #RAFmuseum

Now I actually have a bit of time to go back to my love of children's literature, check out my review of Cruise Ship Kid: Thief at Sea by Emma Swan for @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social #booksky

Thank-you to @philosophyblogs.bsky.social and @lisabortolotti.com for letting me talk about Fantastic Philosophy. This really was a passion project to bring philosophy and critical thinking to children of all backgrounds, giving them confidence in their voices and ideas. #philosophyforeveryone

Thank-you to @ougradsch.bsky.social for asking me to share some of my research and experiences of the PhD process. #philsky #phd #phdlife #phdstudent #philosophy www.linkedin.com/pulse/everyo...

Shameless repost...

Think I'm still in shock from passing my viva with no corrections yesterday. I couldn't have done it without the amazing support of my supervisors @markpinder.bsky.social and Alex Barber and @ougradsch.bsky.social. Thank-you to @literarti.bsky.social and Derek Matravers for being my examiners.
