The real world isn’t carved up into disciplines.

Revolutionary thinkers know this

Deborah McDowell @dem8z.bsky.social · Jun 22

You know, Baldwin didn’t need the “imprimatur” of “philosophy,” any more than DuBois needed that of “sociology,” or Hurston, “anthropology.” These disciplinary classifications confer no “legitimacy” on their work nor its power and influence.

Counterpoint: Women are ahead of the curve on knowing AI is bullshit.

Women are lagging behind on AI but they can catch up

Curiosity, experimentation and learning are crucial if women are to shape the future of work

If you reply to emails at the same rate that they arrive, then email numbers and email arrival rate will increase and increase until that is all you do.

Take. Your. Time.

Life is the things you do inbetween emails.

Tests suggest members of the public think women are more credible experts than men. Researchers believe the public makes an assumption "that to have become professors at prestigious universities in a male-dominated field, the women must be more impressive than the men."

Are female experts more credible?

Public perception of stereotyped discrimination has one surprising outcome

So I’ve written a short piece (approx 1400 words but could be cut down) on ‘The Question of Joy’ in academia. Any ideas or tips about where I might send this? I’ve written for the LSE Impact Blog before but keen to explore other possibilities.

Any advice welcomed. Thank you.

The university death spiral is everywhere, and for everyone: they're all just on a convoy into the same black hole. Oxbridge, LSE and Imperial excepted, they must all *necessarily and inevitably* end up crushed to the size of an Oxo cube if we go on like this.

'The University of Bristol has embarked on a path like a death spiral'

UCU members are opposed to academic departments across the university having to make at least a 50% operating surplus

Given that the word "women" is on the NSF list of words that flat a proposal for rejection and "men" is not, that seems to be the case. As a women's health researcher this is obviously enormously troubling.

In October, I wrote about how Trump’s potential presidency could impact reproductive rights in Scotland.

Never did I think it would be as explicit as the US veep spouting fear mongering, nonsensical lies about Scotland’s buffer zones.

www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

The US has us asking: where's Scotland’s reproductive health agenda?

The hot-button issue in the 2024 Presidential election remains sexual and reproductive health, specifically abortion rights. But what about Scotland?

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.

The one thing that has made my university experience a good one is the staff on the philosophy team. The lecturers and staff at the university ARE WHAT MAKE THE UNIVERSITY. Their plans to cut over 50% of staff are morally horrendous and will lead to the downfall of the university as a whole

An arrest warrant has been issued for a New York doctor indicted on Friday by a Louisiana grand jury for allegedly prescribing abortion pills online to a pregnant minor in the Deep South state, which has one of the strictest near-total abortion bans in the country.
