"Mitra’s case, which multiple faculty said they believed was among the most egregious tenure denials they had ever seen, has already added to growing concerns about the fairness & accuracy of Harvard’s tenure system." This is truly outrageous & hard not to see as politically motivated.

I couldn’t publish it OA but the first 50 people to download it here get it free, in case someone wants to read and doesn’t have access:

My first paper on urban justice is out. It draws an analogy between gentrification and mass incoming migration, and shows that neighbourhoods receiving large numbers of needy migrants are treated unfairly, even if hosting needy migrants IS a requirement of justice/1

A cool new paper by Miranda Young in Hypatia, bringing James C. Scott to bear on the hermeneutical injustice literature in the name of a feminist abolitionism: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This hybrid event Oct. 11-12 looks very cool, with queer and feminist currents. "This workshop aims at discussing thinkers who have argued (proto-)feministically based on Descartes, as well as women philosophers who have dealt with other aspects of Descartes' philosophy."

Anybody got any suggestions for Ellie for ppl writing philosophy and non-philosophy about sex and love? Maybe @carriejenkins.net or @lukebrunning.bsky.social or @nmckeever3.bsky.social or @manongarcia.bsky.social have suggestions

I’m excited to share that my paper ‘Hermeneutic Decentering’ is forthcoming in Philosophical Quarterly! It discusses (what I call) ‘hermeneutic dismissiveness’ as a kind of epistemic injustice, then develops a generalized version of Iris Murdoch’s notion of unselfing. This involves decentering …

New Tempest Henning paper on ad hominem attacks looks 🔥: Abusive ad hominem is often assumed to be fully void of argumentative value, but African American Argumentation emphasizes interpersonal dynamics & cultural context, where personal attacks convey significant communicative & cultural meanings

New paper in Hypatia by Miranda Young - 'Layers of Legibility: A Method for Anti-Carceral Intelligibility'

I see so much similarity to my own methods (if exercised in a different domain) in @perryzurn.bsky.social’s post about his book, especially if you sub “popular music” for “story” in “story-led theory” blog.apaonline.org/2025/08/06/h...?

Ooh looking forward to reading this on how epistemic oppression can undermine our ability to use concepts, even when we have them 👀 Congrats @margotw.bsky.social! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Please enjoy this 30 minute interview with Simone de Beauvoir recorded in 1960 with Studs Terkel! It was aired on Chicago radio. The Lesbian Herstory Archive is such a treasure.

I wrote a really short piece for Hypatia about being an abolitionist and a survivor and why philosophers are such jerks (Literally I started writing this after giving a talk about the book I wrote with Barrett Emerick since Q&A made me feel like utter shit) doi.org/10.1017/hyp....

Such aggressive capture of our attention and energy by distractions, antics, horrors, AI slop, & feelings of despair. I think it's time to revisit Audre Lorde's erotic as a paradigm for reclaiming inner resources for creative power and knowledge.... a thread with some ideas from my article 1/

It's been a while!
