The latest links…

  1. “Pupils should be encouraged to contribute more than ‘yes, Socrates; certainly, Socrates’ most of the time” — a gov’t report on The Academy, from a collection of “polite emails to the ancients” from “a very firmly 2021 standpoint”
  2. A philosopher’s statement of synthesis — the tracks on a new album of instrumental music from Dale Dorsey (Kansas) unfold in developing patterns that make the perfect soundtrack for your night drive on the electronic highway from here to 1980 (title track is esp. good)
  3. “Every female PhD student is sleeping with her supervisor, don’t be naive, it is well known. They all do.” — being told this during a job interview was just one of many incidents of sexism philosopher Juliette Ferry-Danini has faced (from 2020 / via Andrew Mills)
  4. “The cleverest people are not those speaking loudest or trying to impress. They are generous instead.” — Stephen Mumford (Durham) on good philosophical discussion
  5. The University of Austin is premised on misrepresentations about what happens in college classrooms and the state of higher education in the U.S. — commentary from Aaron Hanlon (Colby College)
  6. Analytic philosophy generator — by Andrew M. Bailey (Yale-NUS) (via the Australasian Association of Philosophy)

Mini-Heap posts usually appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, a collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. Discussion welcome.

The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thanks!
