Happy to see my article, "Dignity and Abortion in Law, Philosophy and Bioethics," officially out in the world today!

You can find it open access here! https://t.co/KQY5lHHRlN

In this article, we argue that there are deep overlaps between the value-free ideal in science and a simlar set of ideals found in law. If we accept that non-epistemic values play an inextricable (and desireable) role in both domains, we should talk about these overlaps more!

[Eric Scarffe, PhD @EricScarffe]

This article is the outgrowth of years of conversations with my partner, and being brought along to more philosophy of science conferences than I ever expected!

Great to see this out in the world: https://t.co/T7N73lCgBh

to arrive at shared understandings of what the law means (be it the collective bargaining agreement, university policy, or state statute).

[Eric Scarffe, PhD @EricScarffe]

After years of talking about collective bargaining and phil law, I finally got around to writing some of these ideas down. Like the process of bargaining itself, was excited to write this peice in collaboration with @DanBSaunders!

may undermine the ability for unions to influence the material working conditions at their universities. We believe negotiators need to reject these assumptions, and embrace an approach to ‘bargaining as pedagogy,’ which emphasizes the need for faculty and administrators alike...
