Ready for the Southampton Science and Engineering Festival!
If you are around Southampton and want a day of fun family activities, come to the Science and Engineering Festival!
I’ll be running an activity ‘Who’s in Your Family?’ drawing on my work in philosophy of parenthood. #SOTSEF

I asked my students to guess what I was attempting to draw here.
‘A melting snowman?’ No.
‘Someone who got hit by a trolley?’ No.

They did guess. (And responded with laughter and groans.)

Can you guess?

(Sorry no alt text possible for this one.)

Do you work with families before, during, or after #pregnancy? Are you interested in learning how to make your language #inclusive?
Come to our free online workshops!
The first workshop is on March 10th 2025. Register here: forms.gle/qpyHH9FMJ7EA...

Today is the first lecture of my First Year Ethics class, also known as the day I walk across campus carrying a giant inflatable crocodile.

Crocrates the Philosophical Crocodile is ready for the new semester!

Every year, for my first year Ethics module. I do a syllabus quiz and give away Crocrates the inflatable philosophical crocodile as the prize.

I’ve just been online to make my annual Crocrates order and saw this. A Crocrates suit. It’s calling to me…

Lovely conversation at my Many Ways to Be a Mother workshop exploring parenthood, gender embodiment and inclusivity.

I had a fantastic day at #UoSArtsHumsFest on Saturday. This is the lovely artwork our visitors made exploring Who Is In Your Family?

Looking forwarding to the workshop The Many Ways of Being a Mother this Friday

I think one of my favourite parts of my job is the type of co supervision where you all meet together and you end up learning lots from both your student and your co-supervisor.

Friday afternoon Lego. Can you tell what it is supposed to be?

I’m so happy to have completed a marathon today, meeting my goal of finishing in under 5 and a half hours. Over 50 minutes faster than my first marathon!

Tired but happy after an exciting day at the UNICEF Babyfriendly UK conference, presenting our poster ‘Caring for Everyone: Effective and Inclusive Communication around infant feeding’. Find out more at engagedphilosophy.org/inclusive/

Current mood: swinging between these two songs.

All set up for ‘Craft and a Chat: Exploring Philosophy of Motherhood/ Parenthood.’ at Southampton Hands on Humanities Day #UoSArtsHumFest

New dress with dinosaurs and pockets!

Glorious sunrise swim this morning.
A benefit of autumn is that I can enjoy a sunrise swim without having to get up before 6am.
