I had a great time talking with Neha Gajbhiye about some of my work and life experience as a philosopher/dancer. She asked insightful questions. #PhilSky #philosophy #AcademicSky

Perfection is static. There's nowhere else to go.

I am looking for some review articles on dreaming, particularly: 1. the state of the art from the perspective of cognitive sciences. 2. the relation between dreaming and how we make sense of our waking experience. This is an urgent request so please share this widely. Thanks! #PhilSky #AcademicSky

An example of how *not* to present different perspectives on a complex issue. Most of the article assumes uncritically the idea that deafness is a horrible thing in need of eradication. *One* paragraph on a deaf (and possibly Deaf?) scholar who argues otherwise. Then end on overjoyed "blessed" mom.

Congratulations to all the 2026 ACLS fellows. I'm honored to have contributed to the review process and happy that the ACLS is able to maintain its commitment to inclusive excellence. Contribute to this project and to ACLS's advocacy efforts here: www.acls.org/support/ @acls1919.bsky.social

Sono lieta di condividere una breve intervista che ho fatto per una rivista italiana sul mio lavoro sul valore del dormire. #filosofia #philsky #philosophy

“Fueling brains”. The overvaluation of intellectual abilities over ethical ones start so early. How about we nurture some hearts.

I'm not much on social media these days, so as to not give in to despair, but want to share that I'm back to doing research after a long hiatus (teaching+holidays), and I'm so chuffed I made 19 powerpoint slides in 2 hours (2799 words & cool pics/GIFs). Yay! #philsky #philosophy #Academia #research

Excellent #report about the #Genocide in #Sudan. Shame on the UK & USA and the #UAE for their neglect of this horror. #African Countries also remain SILENT. 😡😭😡 observer.co.uk/news/interna...

I second this advice. I’ve been a donor since I was in grad school, and a monthly donor for several years now. It’s a great organization that does work in all the (too many) places that need it.

I had no idea there are so many philosophy podcasts. I envy people with the ability and time to listen to many of them!

Here is the short and pretty version of a paper I published at the beginning of the year in which I argue that sleeping is valuable aesthetically, interpersonally and intrinsically. Happy to say that a short book on this topic is forthcoming with Princeton U press. #philsky #philosophy #sleeping

My colleague @proflos.bsky.social and I have a new publication: "What's So Great About Consistency?" Have a look! #philsky philpapers.org/rec/MARWSG

Immigrants begging to be deported are languishing in ICE’s Aurora detention facility. Deportation, once seen as a loss, is much needed relief from detention for some. **They are making detention so bad that people beg to be deported. Think about that.** coloradosun.com/2025/11/18/i...

Sara's work is excellent, looking forward to listening to this podcast on an upcoming commute!

I had a good time conversing with Will Gildea about my work on envy. If you listen to it, let me know what you think! #philsky #philosophy

Warning, this movie is about a lot of sad stuff, especially if you’re a parent!

There's about a month left to submit something to the Asian Philosophy of Science Association's inaugural conference! Consider submitting an abstract, and encouraging early-career scholars (especially those from or based in Asia) to submit an essay for the APSA Essay Prize.

Call for abstracts for the first conference of our new Center for Humanities and Technology. Please share! uchumanitiestech.org/2026-confere...

My colleagues @aritubert.bsky.social and @jttiehen.bsky.social make the news!

Such a cool series!

I had lots of fun talking to Faith Salie last summer and realized only belatedly that her Audible Original "Envy Enlightened" is out. She is a charming and powerful narrator, but also a careful thinker, and I highly recommend a listen! #philsky #philosophy

The great @saraprotasi.bsky.social giving excellent comments--with feeling!--on Somebody Should Do Something at the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics annual conference. @madva.bsky.social @dryan149.bsky.social @mitpress.bsky.social

“In Somebody Should Do Something three philosophers show how anyone can help create social change. The key, they argue, is to realize that when we join forces with others, our actions can lead to butterfly effects” link.vox.com/view/608adc6...

I'm looking forward to discussing "Somebody Should Do Something" by @dryan149.bsky.social @madva.bsky.social and @michaelbrownstein.bsky.social today at PPE Society. (It's so accessible and well-written I plan to gift it to socially engaged friends for Christmas!) #philsky #philosophy

New paper out, a commentary to a target paper by Tzu-Wei Hung www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Currently restructuring and rethinking a bit my talk on the value of sleeping. Excited to hear feedback from the audience of the University of Nevada Reno tomorrow. Should be fun!

I’m not much on social media lately but I’m proud to share this article about @univpugetsound.bsky.social My colleague Tanya Erzen is a mensch. www.pugetsound.edu/stories/seco...

On this #LaborDay we're thinking back to our 2017 episode "A World Without #Work," when we sent our Roving Philosophical Reporter, Liza Veale, to look at depictions of a post-work society—the yearning and the dread, the utopian and dystopian predictions: youtu.be/_CnRN9lrJKI #PhilSky #philosophy

The first episode in our #WiseWomen series was the first (and so far only) time our Roving Philosophical Report story editor, Angela Johnston, did the roving herself—in this case, to explore the life and times of 4th-century Egyptian philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria: youtu.be/yRWMtzW7nDo

Trying to not feel guilty for being at the beach and leaving my laptop untouched. Since I’m away from my kids I thought I’d both vacation and write but… maybe I won’t write after all!

I feel lucky that I was able to attend the conference launching the new field of Positive Moral Philosophy. It was organized by Cheshire Calhoun, Jules Holroyd, and Karen Stohr. #philsky #philosophy #PositiveMoralPhilosophy

I absolutely loved being in conversation with Samir Chopra, @kkthomason.bsky.social and @jdelston.bsky.social in this panel. I really think it's worth watching if you are interested in so-called "negative emotions"! I learned a ton. #philsky #philosophy

If you are an American Philosophical Association member, come chat about "bad" emotions this Thursday at 10am Pacific! @kkthomason.bsky.social and Samir Chopra are the other panelists, and @jdelston.bsky.social will moderate. #philsky #philosophy

I have been impressed and delighted by my students end-of-term presentations @univpugetsound.bsky.social. I'll devote two distinct threads to the different type of presentations. This one concerns my upper-level course on the philosophy of emotions. 1/10

Come chat about negative emotions with me, @kkthomason.bsky.social, and Samir Chopra. Thanks, @jdelston.bsky.social, for organizing!

Join us this evening! Register here: www.plato-philosophy.org/webinars/ Co-sponsored by @apaphilosophy.bsky.social #webinar #student #university #philsky #edusky #edsky

I enjoyed this essay by Sophie Grace Chappell (is she here?) for The Philosopher magazine. #philsky #philosophy

That's a wrap on my series of recent books on women in #philosophy for #womenshistorymonth! You can see them individually in my profile--an impressive list, and I'm sure there are others. If we don't think they're there, we won't look; if we don't look we won't find them. Here's to finding more!

A bit sheepish about posting again about this paper, but since I have some new followers, I might as well share this very short blog post on it!

Sandra Harding, feminist philosopher of science, passed away. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie... Her work on feminist standpoint theory was so important to me. #philsky #feministsky #philsci #STS

An abyss of competence.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Folks asking for sources other than NY post, Inside Higher Ed article was published yesterday, link below.
