Had a great time at Brave New World (MANCEPT) presenting on perfectionism. Thanks to all the organisers and participants for a fantastic conference!

A real pleasure to present at the “Crises of Liberalism?” workshop (Royal Holloway) on racial justice and political liberalism today! Many thanks to the ASPP, and organisers (Nat Rutherford) for a great conference, and giving me the opportunity to speak.

After a tricky couple of years, I’m absolutely delighted to be informed that I achieved a distinction in my MPhil! Now time for a rest before I start my DPhil at Nuffield College in September.

Charles Mills, my mentor, my dear friend, just passed away a few minutes ago. I would not be who I am without his generous, nurturing presence. RIP Charles. You are dearly loved. I will carry and communicate your insights in my writings, to my students for as long as I'm here

OWIPT founder Rufaida Al Hashmi (Nuffield College) has published her first paper!

Out in Applied Philosophy! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ja…

Really happy to be giving comments at this for Dr Helen McCabe’s new book - swing by if you like Mill, socialism, or want to see a non-historian (me) talk about intellectual history.

At today's Owipt Nuffield College we discuss great papers from Rufaida Al Hashmi & Ruari Maguire on immigration and unrecognised states, presented by Shai Agmon, and Charlie Richards who writes on sexual practices in the liberal state, presented by @KushWestwood.

Sad to be leaving Durham University after presenting my paper “Social Rights and Refugees” at the Refugees and the Duty of Rescue conference. Thanks to all the participants for making it such a fun and stimulating few days - particular thanks to Dr Bradley H Smith for organising!
