Emerged from my plague and made it to campus to be greeted by apples and this lovely recognition from my students, who declared me the exceptional teacher of the month. I love their comments, especially the part about my gusto 😂

Thank you for having me @ucdphilosophy.bsky.social! The most engaging community I could have hoped for!

After a super invigorating workshop in Wageningen I am now in Dublin for a talk and a dissertation defense.

Super excited to be in Wageningen for @rachelankeny.bsky.social Rachel Allyson Ankeny’s Inaugural Lecture and the workshop leading to it.

I am heading to Greece now to meet up with my sisters and mom and have some off work time on the Aegean coast before I start the next bout of book touring.

The highlight of the week was @madva.bsky.social’s lecture on Bias in Medicine. Students, colleagues and I benefited tremendously from Alex’s rigorous, empirically grounded, and hope building expertise. The vibes were high! Thanks Alex!!!

Just finished the busiest, all hands on deck teaching week of the year. It went so well, felt super connected to all the 180 first year med students and taught Bioethics in the way I like doing it: lots of philosophy of science, films, first person stories, and lectures by brilliant colleagues.

My two co-authors Michael Brownstein and Alex Madva talking about our soon-to-be-a-real-thing book _Somebody Should Do Something_ on The Philosopher's Zone podcast

ditto!

that’s terrible. I think your feelings are justified. I have a few of my own stories that involve white feminists. I now know that identifying as a feminist does not automatically make one a good feminist, or philosopher or colleague. You are good.

Alex Madva, co-author of "Someone should do something: how anyone can help create social change", most clearly articulated the connection between the problems raised by previous speakers & the tension between individual & structural frameworks

I now have to cope with Europe withdrawal symptoms.

Back from Europe, so energized by seeing the great work on philosophy of psychiatry and medical humanities over there! Special thanks to my amazing hosts @literarti.bsky.social and @who-knows-what.bsky.social in Durham and Nijmegen and get to spend time with movers and shakers @lisabortolotti.com

Loved getting the chance to speak at this conference and learn more about current research in epidemic injustice in psychiatry, lived experience expertise, and potential futures for the field that improve both its ethical and epistemic outputs.

We have received such amazing abstracts in reaction to our CFP for our "Who knows what in mental health care?" conference!

We'll be discussing the role of lived experience, experiential knowledge and epistemic injustice in psychiatry. Can't wait!

June 10-11 @ Radboud University - more info soon.
