I'll be the keynote speaker at the Voir Dire Conference on October 9th/10th. In my talk, “Theorizing Justice Beyond the Status Quo: Indigenous Views and Hope for the Future,” I'll reflect on what a theory of justice would look like if we consider Indigenous perspectives instead of Western views.
Poster for the Voir Dire conference, taking place in Ottawa between October 9 and 10. There is a QR code to see the full program. It has an email voirdire.ottawa@gmail.com, for questions.

You are telling me that governments working to favour billionaires over their citizens, and backing genocides against their constituents' wishes, could make citizens opt for a radical proposal that simplifies things in terms of race but promises some form of real democratic input? Shocking!

Hot take #Philosophy: Just like NOBODY endorses phrenology as a scientifically valid field today, racial hierarchies will also be disregarded altogether from academia. I know this affects the core beliefs of the "just asking questions" crew, but trust me, you guys are the phrenologists of today. 1/2

Why are people attacking analytic philosophers now? The "I am just asking questions" crew deserves their racism, misogyny, and general insecurities protected. Just because they would rather endorse segregation, it doesnt mean we get to call them trash... or does it? 😂

Imagine saying that THE FIRST time you sign an open letter for academic freedom in a country that has been tearing it for the last few years, is TO SUPPORT RACISTS who spout debunked views because they are getting removed from academia. Weird hill to die on, but the comments are fun at least.

I have found so many US academics that think that any discussion about race, gender, social impacts, etc. HAS to be framed as part of their culture wars. No, they do not. The fastest most of the academic world breaks from US exceptionalism, the better our global discourses will be.

The Alberta Premier, who has been changing legislation and advocating for separatists to get their unconstitutional referedum off the ground is now surprised that the separatists have broken de law to ACCESS AND SHARE the private info of 3 million people. #albertapolitics #leak #rcmp
We are aware of the situation involving a potential data breach of electors’ personal information. 

Protecting the personal information of Albertans is of the utmost importance, and those responsible should be held accountable under the law.

We understand both Elections Alberta and the RCMP are looking into this matter thoroughly and we will wait for the results of those investigations before commenting further and assessing whether any future legislative changes need to be considered

Heidegger, Derrida, and Rawls WERE TERRIBLE WRITERS. Why do people in Western philosophy, either analytic or continental, still try to sound and write like these people? The more some try to sound "technical," the more I understand why some people think of philosophy as mere pretentious opinion.

If you are interested in Indigenous philosophical perspectives, comparative methodologies in philosophy, and the radical expansion of the philosophical canon, we would like to hear from you regarding your interest in the Philosophy PhD programme at the University of Alberta.

The successful applicant will be funded for four years at the same rate as the other admitted candidates to the Philosophy PhD program at the University of Alberta, at $25,000 per year. You will be part of a team developing local, national, and international connections, with access to dedicated training in Indigenous philosophy. This is a chance for an enthusiastic researcher interested in changing the landscape of academic philosophy to pursue higher education.
To be considered for this opportunity, prospective students must apply to the Philosophy PhD program at the University of Alberta (https://www.ualberta.ca/en/graduate-studies/admissions-programs/apply/index.html), and their Statement of Interest must include their interest in working on the Indigenous Stories of Philosophy project under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Sanchez-Perez.

These are three examples from David Hume's book History of England, in which the author mentions the State of Palestine.
