Very proud of this article, "Understanding Student Mental Health", published last week with Dr Emma Farrell. Drawing on the philosophical work of Cora Diamond, Emma and I argue that certain experiences of difficulty are too often deflected into a medicalised vocabulary.

My article "Towards a higher education: Contemplation, compassion, and the ethics of slowing down" is published today in Educational Philosophy & Theory Thanks to the mighty Shane Bergin for introducing me to the wonders of The Slow Professor. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
