Here is my annual reminder to not say "come work with me" or "be my colleague" when sharing job ads fom your department. Being on the job market is incredibly hard. Candidates know that he actual chances of being your colleague are vanishingly small (sorry if this sounds harsh)

My contribution examines Hacking’s styles of scientific reasoning in relation to Foucault’s archaeology of discourse, focusing on the shift from positivity to truthfulness. I argue the transition is not merely terminological. Happy to share a pre-print!
I’m *very* excited to announce that the special issue of The Monist that I co-edited with Paul Roth is finally out!
It includes my new paper alongside a fantastic set of contributions.
