I'll be chairing this online discussion about how the loss of the sense of smell can impact us for York Festival of Ideas tomorrow, if anyone is interested in joining: yorkfestivalofideas.com/2023/calendar/…

Project members Becky Millar & Louise Richardson have had an article titled 'Grief, smell, & the olfactory air of a person' accepted by Pacific Philosophical Quarterly. It considers how olfaction can enable continuing bonds with the dead. Pre-print below: academia.edu/103658399/Grie…

New paper co-authored with Louise Richardson, which combines our interests in the philosophy of grief and the philosophy of smell! You can check out the preprint on academia.edu.

Life news! From Friday I'll be taking on a 12 month Philosophy of Mind lectureship at Cardiff University. Happy to be continuing my academic journey in another great department full of interesting philosophers.

We are very pleased to announce that Dr Becky Millar (Becky Millar) joins us today. Becky will be teaching undergraduate and postgraduate modules in philosophy of mind across this academic year. Welcome to Cardiff, Becky! pic.x.com/dcm0iVtrCo

It's a year since we published our special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, on 'Understanding Grief'. It's a wide-ranging collection, covering pain, memory, attention, music, theology, chatbots, grief over illness and more: ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jc…

Happy start of term everyone! We are already looking forward to our Autumn Cardiff Philosophy Speaker Series and delighted to share the exciting line-up of presenters.  Berislav Marušić will be kicking us off on Wednesday with his talk on Embodied Radical Freedom.

Take a look at the new and improved Grief Survey: a unique corpus of first-person testimonies of grief. It's now much easier to browse and search through 260 responses to 21 questions about the experience of grief: griefyork.com/survey (1/3) #GriefAwarenessWeek #Grief

Roses are red Violets are blue Here's a new co-authored article by Jonny Lee 🧠🪴 and me about the compatibility of sensorimotor enactivism and mechanistic explanation as an exciting Valentine's day treat for you. 🌹✨ tandfonline.com/eprint/DTSUT6P…

A wee paper about sensorimotor theory & mechanism by Becky Millar and me is OUT NOW in @philosophicalps. Continuing my broader ambition of late: resolving unnecessary antagonism around representation, enactivism & mechanism. Check it out! tandfonline.com/eprint/DTSUT6P…

Had a great time speaking about smell and interpersonal experience for the PPIG talk series at Philosophy at Edinburgh yesterday! Lovely to be back where I did my MSc & PhD, where so many of my philosophical interests formed. Thanks for having me, & to Dr Jodie Russell for chairing! 💙

We're hiring! Two 12-month Teaching & Scholarship positions, one in social epistemology and one in political philosophy. Closing date: Sunday 21 July 2024. Full details: bit.ly/cdfphilts12

I'm very happy to share my article 'Can animals grieve?', which has just been published open access in Ergo Phil Journal. I argue that—contra assumptions present in various philosophical accounts of grief—many non-human animals can, and do, grieve. doi.org/10.3998/ergo.6…

"What is new is a theme running throughout our degrees: the usefulness of philosophising in working together to address problems that we face collectively as organisations and as a society." –– me on our new BA and MA degrees at Cardiff University :: timeshighereducation.com/campus/philoso…

Like everyone, I've moved to Bluesky. See you there! bsky.app/profile/bexmil…
