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

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

I will be forever grateful to @triphilosophy.bsky.social for awarding me the Jacobsen Studentship in 2023. Not only did it make a massive difference financially, but at a time when the self-doubt was strong it helped me remember that my research was important. Thank-you and happy centenary!

School parent group chats are reading 100 messages about another kid's lost t-shirt but knowing you can't leave or you will 100% miss non-uniform day.
