Always getting those lists of Most Cited Philosophers or Works Featuring in the SEP Most Often or whatever and when you look there's never nothing by any women or POC. Well, finally, thanks to President Trump, a list of philosophical works has come out which heavily features women and black people!

I'm on my way to Zürich to talk about sexual agency, returning to the topic of my dissertation.
You can read some of my analysis of agency and sexual objectification here (with @ellieanderphd.bsky.social):

Shame can take away the value or potential of dark moods + emotions.
We feel bad about feeling bad because we’re made to feel it’s our fault… choose happy works when you’re happy.
Loved this new Overthink ep on Dark Moods—
thanks @ellieanderphd.bsky.social!

I’m lecturing on sexual consent later and looking forward to discussing the work of @quillkukla.bsky.social and @ellieanderphd.bsky.social. @manongarcia.bsky.social’s recent book also makes an appearance. It’s such a good time to be thinking about the philosophy of intimacy and relationships. 💕📚

It's been a decade since my first publication in a philosophy journal! I'm still proud of this 2014 article, an analysis of Beauvoir's ethics through a reading of the ménage à trois in her novel She Came to Stay
