As long as you are leaning into the fascist zeitgeist, it seems that you too can be invited on a New York Times podcast to espouse your utterly vacuous and historically and politically illiterate views on feminism.

Remembering Jonathan Lear remembering Bernard Williams.

At the 2004 American Philosophical Association @apaphilosophy.bsky.social, Lear delivered a speech in honour of his recently departed teacher and friend.

I've written whole papers inspired by these words. home.uchicago.edu/jlear/docs/P...

Solidarity and safety to my @osgoodenews.bsky.social colleague and friend Heidi Matthews who has just set sail aboard the Shireen, the legal support boat of the Global Samud Flotilla, from which she will provide IL expertise for fellow vessels aiming to break the siege in Gaza.

May peace come.

Premier Ford is deeply misinformed on the applicable law here, including the Treaty-based law, and his remarks below are just unconscionably rude and racist.

Seeing the harrowing re-emergence of the U.S. Alien Enemies Act, it seems well past time for Canadians to confront our own cruel (legal) history of exile.

Challenging Exile, Japanese Canadians & the Wartime Constitution by @ericadams99.bsky.social & Stanger-Ross is an extraordinary, necessary book.

My Robson Hall lecture has now been posted. It maps the ways that the philosophy of emotion can support critical appraisals of law.

Special thanks to @amarkhoday.bsky.social for the invitation and to everyone at the University of Manitoba for the warm reception.
