Wonder why it is that political theorists tend to read out their papers while philosophers do handouts and political scientists do slides

It’s simple: the US has waged a decades-long economic war on the Venezuelan people since Hugo Chávez nationalised the oil, because Venezuela insists its natural resources belong to its people, not Chevron.

funding lotteries have been waiting for this moment
This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

CFP: "Speech and Politics" with Miranda Fricker Sciences Po's 12th Graduate Conference of Political Theory Submission deadline: January 31, 2026 Conference date(s): May 27, 2026 - May 28, 2026 Call for papers Key words: Attentiveness, listening, discourses, representation, political language, democracy, margins The relationship between speech and politics has recently become the object of renewed scholarly interest. Following Michel Foucault’s analyses of parrhesia and the courage of truth (2008, 2017), political theory has increasingly interrogated the force of “truth-telling” within practices of resistance to power, as evidenced by studies on the so-called “liberation of speech” among women in the #MeToo movement (Châteauvert-Gagnon, 2025).
