"What is new is a theme running throughout our degrees: the usefulness of philosophising in working together to address problems that we face collectively as organisations and as a society."

@MarilynStendera Congratulations! 🙌

[Becky Millar @BexMillar]

I'm very happy to share my article 'Can animals grieve?', which has just been published open access in @ErgoEditors. I argue that—contra assumptions present in various philosophical accounts of grief—many non-human animals can, and do, grieve.

Had a great time speaking about smell and interpersonal experience for the PPIG talk series at @UoE_Philosophy yesterday! Lovely to be back where I did my MSc & PhD, where so many of my philosophical interests formed. Thanks for having me, & to @jelliedsours for chairing! 💙

[Jonny Lee 🧠🪴 @Jonny_CW_Lee]

A wee paper about sensorimotor theory & mechanism by @BexMillar and me is OUT NOW in @philosophicalps. Continuing my broader ambition of late: resolving unnecessary antagonism around representation, enactivism & mechanism. Check it out!

Take a look at the new and improved Grief Survey: a unique corpus of first-person testimonies of grief. It's now much easier to browse and search through 260 responses to 21 questions about the experience of grief: https://t.co/1ypZcNux0x (1/3) #GriefAwarenessWeek #Grief

Happy start of term everyone!

We are already looking forward to our Autumn Cardiff Philosophy Speaker Series and delighted to share the exciting line-up of presenters. 

Berislav Marušić will be kicking us off on Wednesday with his talk on Embodied Radical Freedom.

[Philosophy of Grief and Loss at York @GriefYork]

It's a year since we published our special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, on 'Understanding Grief'. It's a wide-ranging collection, covering pain, memory, attention, music, theology, chatbots, grief over illness and more: https://t.co/g6WBbENMeZ

We provide an account of why the sense of smell is actually especially well placed to allow for a sense of closeness with the dead, & discuss some implications of this for philosophical accounts of interpersonal experience. (3/3)

[Becky Millar @BexMillar]

Happy to share this newly published article in Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, co-authored with Louise Richardson as part of @GriefYork, which explores an important role for the sense of smell in grief. (1/3)

Available open access:

[Becky Millar @BexMillar]

Many bereaved people report smelling the clothing, bedding, & possessions of their loved one to feel a sense of closeness & continuing connection with them. However, this capacity may seem at odds with various assumptions about smell's limitations and relative unimportance. (2/3)

[Becky Millar @BexMillar]

@johanne_marais Thank you for sharing 💙

[Becky Millar @BexMillar]

New paper co-authored with Louise Richardson, which combines our interests in the philosophy of grief and the philosophy of smell! You can check out the preprint on https://t.co/DwpxODlUlY.

[Philosophy of Grief and Loss at York @GriefYork]

Project members @BexMillar & Louise Richardson have had an article titled 'Grief, smell, & the olfactory air of a person' accepted by Pacific Philosophical Quarterly. It considers how olfaction can enable continuing bonds with the dead. Pre-print below: https://t.co/ldu1xUEiBu
