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.

If those 12 separatists could understand what they read, they would be really offended by this publication.

Now that Canada is about to join the EU as an "associate member," I expect the Canadian national anthem to be played constantly in Brussels. Here is the national anthem, in case you are not familiar with Canadian culture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bFH...

Anybody who collaborated with institutions like the CIA is responsible for the suffering of millions across the planet. I hope this date remains a reminder of the damage the US has caused and continues to cause around the globe. 4/4 P.S. If you don't know who Victor Jara was, read about him.

To cause harm across the world and pretend they are somehow innocent victims, while profiting from all the blood. This, in my view, is what US exceptionalism is about. 3/4

This was an effort to impose Neoliberalism, which is just liberalism without the concerns of appearences lets face it, across Latin America. The faces of US imperialism might look different, but the core drive of those running that society is the same. 2/4

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!

And no, no amount of "freedom of expression" or "academic inquiry" will ever hide the fact that you are, de facto, racist pieces of shit. That has been established. The issue now is how long until your nonsense keeps making philosophy look so ridiculous in the eyes of other fields. 2/2

Jorge Sanchez-Perez @jsanchezperez.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
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

Yes. The banning of teaching Plato's symposium was less of a problem for some of these free speech warriors in philosophy, than the firing of a guy who is promoting 19th century race science and white supremacy. Literally debunked theories.

Jorge Sanchez-Perez @jsanchezperez.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
A lot of colleagues in my field, analytic philosophy, are very much for freedom of expression, but only when it is about discrimination or racism. Some of the supporters of Cofnas are well-know for supporting horrific views, but hide them with the "I am just asking questions," slogan. Hope it helps!

Jorge Sanchez-Perez @jsanchezperez.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
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.

At least one close friend of Epstein there, probably several more people funded by him as well, and also a lot of hardcore zionists, and eugenecists in general. Seems like a mix made in discrimination heaven.

They are right on the point that Cofnas racism was known by Ghent beforehand. It is up to them to explain how they allow it inside in the first place. That being said, they should rightfully tell whoever wrote that letter to fuck off.

Good. Any agreement with the US is unreliable. Let the millions of US citizens who allow this circus to keep going to suffer the consequences of their exceptionalism. As in, how exceptionally unaware they are of their reliance on Canadian products. www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

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.

Neither Republicans or Democrats are free from the war mongering practices of the US empire. At least now its official, for many, that the US is actively trying to dismantle the same system that allowed crimes as those committed by the Nazis from being prosecuted. 3/3

Of course, the actions of Israel are so depraved that the ICC had to take action and that is beyond acceptable to the country that, most likely, has the majority of war criminals in political positions. That is, the USA. 2/3

The decision to quash separation efforts in Alberta based on the failure to consult Indigenous nations shows how this topic will only get more attention. An optimistic reading would tell us that indeed, judges will consider the obligations that come from properly respecting Indigenous rights. 3/4

But right after, I taught them UNDRIP and mentioned how this document was meant to be provide a new framework of legal interpretation for the courts. Thus, paving the way for the future actual respect of the duty of consultation while also showing how international and domestic law interact. 2/4

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

Which includes most countries Peru could ever find itself having a conflict with. The purchase amounts to over 1 USD billion dollars. By the way, the country HAS NO BUDGET to cover the proper cost of elections, or the scholarship promised to the best students from the poorest areas of Peru. 2/4

The ambassador of the USA in Peru has effectively pushed for a coup in Peru. The Peruvian armed forces have overriden the current president and moved forward with the purchase of a group of F16 jets. The planes are, as per US regulations, useless against any US allied country. 1/4

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.

The fact that Trump can threaten to commiting atrocities in order to stop an illegal war HE started, is an indictment of the entire US society. All of their presidents have been bombing, killing, and destroying people's lives around the planet for almost 100 years and they never really care. 1/3
