Very excited to share this year’s Ronald Dworkin Colloquium lineup. @ucl.ac.uk has been running this series in legal & political philosophy since 1998, when Dworkin founded it. Still going strong.

Hallvard is in @ethicsjournal.bsky.social !!! Feasibility, Sandven argues, is superfluous or moralised in normative discourse 🤔🤔 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

I'm happy to share that my latest article, "Risk and Quietness: Pericles’s Funeral Oration and the Mythical 'Catalogue of Exploits,'” is now published in Political Theory! You can find it here, and please feel free to reach out if you'd like a copy #poltheory journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Josh Cohen and I have a new (short) paper in @science.org! Researchers at Google built a "Habermas Machine" for democratic deliberation. We ask whether its knack for building agreement comes from genuine deliberative merit or from people over-trusting algorithms. philpapers.org/go.pl?aid=CO...

My @apsrjournal.bsky.social paper on politics and intimacy is featured in Political Science Today @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org in a great piece by Ewa Nizalowska 💫🔭

Yesterday we celebrated @jowolff.bsky.social remarkable career. Hard to put into words, so here’s a glimpse of the standing ovation that closed the day. Love, admiration, philosophy at its best. Days like this remind me why we do what we do.

Very happy that my first book “A World From Nowhere: Expert Politics and the Technocratic International” is now going to be under contract with OUP 😊

In a recent @apsrjournal article, @ElsaKugelberg asks what it would mean for dating app corporations to serve the interests of their users.

I thought I'd just slide away into retirement. But others, especially @shaiagmon.bsky.social to whom I'm incredibly grateful had other ideas. So he's assembled an extraordinary cast of philosophers to make sure I actually do retire. www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/events/publi...

So honoured my @apsrjournal.bsky.social paper was chosen by the APSA Public Scholarship Programme. Excellent summary of this piece by Ewa Nizalowska at Cornell’s Government Department. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...?

My article with Ayelet Banai is now available (open access!) in @polstudies.bsky.social ! We ask what are the limits on the state's right to include new citizens, and argue that, surprisingly, the principle of self-determination supports such limits.

For over a decade, the Israeli centre dominated the opposition—and squandered its moment. It promised to safeguard democracy, restore unity, and bring stability. It delivered none. My new piece in @bostonreview.bsky.social. There are lessons here beyond Israel.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

“This is one reason why conservatives (and fellow travelers like Arnade) hate liberalism so much: free choice disproves their biological essentialism.”

In light of the increasing reliance on opaque algorithmic systems in decision-making, many theorists and legislators have made calls for a right to an explanation. Here is our paper arguing against this! It will be published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. philpapers.org/rec/KARNRT

"Before we heed calls for political friendship, then, we would do well to consider the critique of political friendship of an early feminist, and her bold embrace of political enmity." Check out Geertje Bol's new paper 'Mary Astell Against Political Friendship' in History of Political Thought!

As we continue to see the fallout from DOGE gutting USAID, it's worth revisiting this piece by @knibbs.bsky.social: By effectively dismantling the agency, DOGE ended some of the most data-driven programs including ones that ensure that food aid is delivered in the least-wasteful way possible.

A decade or so of arguing about Free Speech In The Academy and this is what we get out of it.

Brilliant paper by @elsakugelberg.bsky.social! If you’re working on the normative aspects of liberal theory, feminism, markets, technology, or competition, I highly recommend it. A beautiful example of political philosophy done in a relevant and interdisciplinary way. #poltheory

Given the part dating apps play in our society, this sort of exploration is as important to theorizing social life, as work on marriage and the family was for earlier eras
