I had so much fun teaching philosophy at the Hamilton College Summer Program in Philosophy in June-July. It was a unique program, I got to meet the best philosophy students and teachers in the process! Thank you @bethmcmurtrie.bsky.social for your article about the program in the @chronicle.com

In session in the Federal Court for Monash Uni’s wage theft case. I’ll be live posting from this hearing today. The NTEU alleges Australia’s largest university has not lawfully paid hundreds, perhaps thousands, of its casual teachers going back to 2016. Justice Snaden is the judge.

When I'm not reading and writing and teaching philosophy I'm often helping out with my partner's record store, Footscray Records @footscrayrecords.bsky.social . Here's some little heard music he wants the world to know more about:
