Excited to be in Cardiff this week to present at the Welsh Aesthetics Forum. I'll be talking about how we can aesthetically appreciate our own epistemic agency, how artworks can help us do this, and how this might (or might not!) boost our cognitive powers. @cardiffphilosophy.bsky.social #philsky

Cardiff University philosophy graduate Daisy Onyewu explains what she loved about her degree and how philosophy helps in her career ::

Delighted to have @daisydixon.bsky.social and Durre Shahwar kicking off ‘The ‘art’ of research’ Away Day here in Cardiff today, helping us explore new creative routes into our research through images and autofiction 💕

Daisy Dixon kicked off our workshop on social, political, and manipulative speech this morning by wondering exactly what lying is.

On Friday (18/07) there's a HYBRID workshop on Social, Political & Manipulative Speech in Cardiff, with some pretty awesome people - feat. keynote by Jennifer Saul! If you happen to be around or want to join online, you can find a registration link (& program!) here sites.google.com/view/cardiff...

Thomas Payré comparing descriptions of urban scenes in Sartre’s first novel La Nausée and his unfinished later novel La Reine Albemarle

Darren Gillies drawing on Sartre’s theory of imagination to argue that bokeh in photography inhibits imaginative participation in the image

Jonathan Mitchell developing a theory of sensory episodic memory grounded in Sartre’s theory of imagination

Chris Burdett arguing that Sartre’s seemingly pessimistic theory of romantic relationships is both true and helpful

"People must see themselves as the authors of their own emancipation." Excellent new open-access article on the dangers of externally induced regime change with particular reference to Iran –– –– coauthored by Cardiff philosopher Patrick Hassan.

Career goals unlocked 😮😮😮

I'm extremely excited to be speaking at this workshop! If you're in the Sydney area, please do come along.
