A reminder to get there early on Thursdsy lest you be subject to the kinds of brawls over seating that @seroddy.bsky.social details in the book. No pew rents will be applied and there may even be some catering to get you in the door before the event.

I had a blast at @maynoothuniversity.ie’s inaugural Intersectional Humanities summer school today, curated by the wonderful @annahm.bsky.social & her team! It was a pretty intense philosophy session, in which we explored multiple onto-epistemological identity paradigms & interferential thought.
