A week ago there was an open letter signed by politics researchers urging Keir Starmer to abandon his proposed anti-immigrant policies. With the support of the organizers, I've created the same petition but open to all academics. Read and sign the letter here: molliegerver.weebly.com/petition.html.

I recently co-authored & circulated (with @alasianuti.bsky.social ) an open letter against Starmer’s anti-immigrant rules & rhetoric. Over 100 of my UK-based political academics & writers signed it. Read the whole thing here: www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/starmer

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...

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.

Woah, my book is published! Available online! Please read it! Or at least get your library to order it, or maybe download some PDF chapters with good intentions... :) academic.oup.com/book/59557 #academicsky #philsky

‘Meloni profited from what is now often called “anti-incumbency” sentiment and then, once in power, from access to the money her predecessors had negotiated.’ @jwmueller-pu.bsky.social on Giorgia Meloni and the trajectory of Italy’s far right: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

"From overly tight underwear to conceiving after 35 – experts bust fertility myths" this is much more useful (albeit not perfect) than a lot of what usually gets written on #fertility and #ivf. Good job, @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
