Both university neutrality and activist universities are forms of overpoliticisation. We need academic pluralism instead.

Filipinos make up 4% of US registered nurses, double their population share. Now many live in fear of ICE at work. As one physical therapist put it: 'This is my place of work. I should feel safe.' Excellent @guardian reporting on essential workers under threat.

Chris Ranalli and I have a new paper in the International Journal for the Study of Skepticism. We argue that philosophical scepticism need not lead to political conservatism. We also suggest that scepticism may support an anti-political stance that is worth cultivating.

“For the real environment is altogether too big, too complex, and too fleeting for direct acquaintance."

Walter Lippmann was right. And because the world is too big and complex, I’ve tried to assemble key passages from his 1922 book, "Public Opinion," that capture why it matters today.
