This is particularly sad for me as the philosophy department has been a home for my teaching and research. It reflects the general state of the Humanities in the UK. Please sign this petition to save the Humanities at the Uni of Hertfordshire https://t.co/Cgf5BA5ZT8 via @UKChange
@darrenhabermft Just finished reading it. I enjoyed it very much. Things start happening when words fail us but also when we stumble on the right words (“when is someone gonna know?”)! Thanks for sharing.
Fun and exciting things can happen when a philosopher becomes a mother!
For @TIME I wrote an article on toddlers and why parents should not refrain from judging bad behavior. Children participate in moral life as much as they participate in speaking.👶🏻✨

Very rewarding to see that my first book continues to inspire reading and thinking! Here is my conversation with psychoanalyst @darrenhabermft
We discussed limits of expression, wonder, Lacan, why making sense of things makes us happier&what Wittgenstein makes of psychoanalysis!
Very pleased to be posting this conversation with philosopher Maria Balaska, on Wittgenstein, Lacan, psychoanalysis, the limits of the sayable, and the need to creatively involve ourselves with language. A real treat, hope you enjoy it.

I had the pleasure and honor of speaking there, and I truly hope it is the start of a new tradition! 🇵🇹💡✨❤️
What do philosophers have to say about boredom?
I enjoyed speaking to @antonyjfunnell about it, at @RadioNational, Big Ideas / Future Tense. You can have a listen and share here!

Here is my recent piece on fake nature 🪴 and why the real thing matters🌱✨. Thanks @TIME, and thanks @KoneenSaatio for funding and supporting my research project!
“Faced with impressively elaborate copies of plants that never droop or wither, a lot of us may wonder if we are justified to choose natural over fake, and on what grounds.” For @TIME here is my latest piece on the problem with fake nature. https://t.co/GpGq0oUOTI
