Been reading a lot of books about parenting recently. But none of them have taught me how to pull off what is, arguably, the most important aspect of parenting: ensuring that your child does not find out that Darth Vader is Luke's father before watching The Empire Strikes Back

I don't want to say that it's like in August 1966 when the Beatles played two cities in one day but this afternoon, Hwa Young Kim is giving our joint paper on Normative Behaviourism in Zürich *and* I am presenting me and Lasse Nielsen's paper on extreme wealth in Bamberg.

Spent the last two days at New York University with Juliana Bidadanure, revising our entry on Egalitarianism for the Stanford Encyclopedia in Philosophy. It's almost fully cooked (and as am I, given the scorching New York heat)

Most take for granted that wealthy countries are permitted in refusing permanent entry to migrants from poorer countries. A reason often given is "freedom of association" or "associational autonomy". This (now published!) paper shows why that doesn't work: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

When can claims for more opportunities or resources be made in the name of justice? In a new paper, Liam Shields and I explore this question (in a highly technical and abstract manner). Feast your eyes on this (v conceptual and not v practical) beauty: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
