What are unions for? Do they serve only to curb the excesses of the liberal labor market? Or are they primarily agents of radical resistance? Neither view captures entirely their democratic functions and potentials, @stevenmklein (KCL) explains: https://t.co/9wZWZO7ATG

First hard copy of something I’ve published! Head over to the closest newsstand that carries Social Theory and Practice and see why valuable relations of dependency frustrate some prominent theories of domination!
I have a paper just out📯I wanted to try to capture the complexity of affect in people living with chronic, complex illnesses. This is something which I think is missed a little bit in current medical research, especially into 'mysterious' conditions https://t.co/cG9Qjer2qD
In our regular reading/work-in-progress group meeting today, we discussed a manuscript on agent causation by Robin Bianchi, who works on active and passive powers under Simon-Pierre Chevarie-Cossette at the University of Neuchâtel. We even had a seagull trying to gatecrash 🪟🐦
I had a great time talking today with Saba Bazargan-Forward about his fantastic @OUPPhilosophy book, AUTHORITY, COOPERATION, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. @NewBooksPhil episode coming soon.
