New paper out!! I argue against the view that conversational silence standardly indicates agreement (even absent certain defeating conditions). This paper emerged from a chapter of my PhD, so it's nice to finally see it out in the world :)

Change is possible! largest most notorious deepfake sexual abuse website has blocked access to UK users. This follows announcement this week to criminalise creation as well as sharing. This has always been my main justification for using the criminal law https://t.co/70qqbNBZBP

One final session of #SEP2024 is a symposium on Henry Somers-Hall's book Judgement and Sense in Modern French Philosophy, with talks by Nathan Widder, Cillian Ó Fathaigh, and Wahida Khandker, and a reply by the author.

[Jonathan Webber @jonathanwebber]

Superb #SEP2024 session on Simone de Beauvoir with Anna Cornelia Ploug (Copenhagen) on concrete contradictions in The Second Sex and Katja Čičigoj (Klagenfurt) on gendered forms of subjectivation structuring lived experience.

[Mary Edwards @_MaryEds]

The final day of #SEP2024 opened with a riveting keynote address from Irene McMullin! I’m still thinking about how humour and motherhood can provide privileged perspectives on others on Murdoch’s account, and what kind of social ontology this entails…

[Kate Kirkpatrick @philosofemme]

I’ve been looking forward to this!

Correspondence with five “ordinary” women about adolescence, lesbianism, contraception, coupledom, domestic violence, anti-colonialism, racism, and more.

#SEP2024 Day 3 begins with our third keynote address ––

Murdoch and the Idea of Perfection

–– Professor Irene McMullin (Essex)

[Mary Edwards @_MaryEds]

Specifically, direct social perceptions - i.e. perceptions of other people’s mental states

[Mary Edwards @_MaryEds]

Nicolai Knudsen’s excellent talk responds to the trilemma facing traditional phenomenological accounts of perceptions with a novel Rylean account of empathy #SEP2024
