Spent my bday teaching Hegel, Marx, and Arendt all day—and it was great! My first-year students surprised me with cake, fruit, and this card that truly warmed my heart. Wishing them all the best in becoming evil prince(sse)s who will rule this run-down world and transform it into something glorious!

Glad to share that our #DRAGoN centre has been shortlisted for the 2024 #ONS Research Excellence Awards.

Since 2020, I’ve been proud to contribute to DRAGoN projects like the process evaluation of the ODI’s Research & Development Program and the UKRI DARE UK’s GRAIMatter project.

Great event Friday at @wshed.bsky.social! Loved seeing students/alumni discuss #WorldPhilosophy. I shared thoughts on metaphorical uses of decolonisation (Tuck/Yang/Ricoeur). Huge thanks to @stellasandford.bsky.social, Adam Loughnane, Tzuchien Tho, and Katrina Mitcheson for chairing! #UWEPhilosophy
