Meme on Major Threats to the Health of Philosophy, Real and Imagined (guest post)
Yes, and I don’t think you’ve actually engaged with the claim I’m making. The point is that one can be forced out even when one is not literally…

Is there evidence for the claim that trans people are consistently pushed out of academia? Based on the number of trans academics I’ve met, they seem (if anything)…

This dovetails with something I've long suspected: that one of the biggest disconnects between philosophy and politics is the role of ulterior motives in the latter. Virtually nobody…
