If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

I got off academia dot edu 5 or so years ago, when I discovered it was sending automatically-generated emails in my name without even telling me - I found out when a very senior member of the profession replied to one. It's only gone further and further done this path since, as far as I can tell.

My new article, "Calling Trauma, Elite Capture, and Hermeneutical Injustice," is out in Phil Quarterly! It's a deeply personal project, drawing on family history to examine how privileged groups use claims of trauma to control narratives and to suggest a new way to think of epistemic injustice. 🧵

Very happy to announce that I won a Marie Curie fellowship last year, and will be heading to Nottingham @uonphilosophy.bsky.sociall! My project 'Imperfect perception' will look at the experiences of sensory impairments and dysfunctions. Excited to start 😊

I am devastated to learn of my dear friend and fellow philosopher Helen De Cruz’s passing. With Helen's blessing, her husband Johan and I agreed to circulate a GoFundMe on their children’s behalf. Please feel free to share and circulate widely. www.gofundme.com/f/support-he...

Dear all, Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers. pt. 1/2
