Here is another foray into political philosophy. I argue that because gender identity and hierarchies are fundamentally cultural, so is gender emancipation and equality. And since not all girls, women and non-binary belong to majorities, multiculturalism is good for women.

Another plug for my paper on *why multiculturalism is good for women* (which is also the title). It is open access in a very nice interdiciplinary journal Ethnicities that combines normative and empirical work on ethnicity and politics.
Yes, the media and world is paying far too much attention to the Trump-Epstein affair (and far too little on doing something about Sudan & climate change) BUT these women are still brave stepping forward and sending a strong message to those with power who think they live with impunity.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Just read Urtes fascinating and cautionary tale of the nasogenital cure. Especially for those of us with a penchant for nasal theories of... most everything.
Consider reading my new piece on the history and science of the nasogenital cure! Incidentally, that's not exactly what the theory was and not quite what the episode reveals. Bizarre tales sound rather less bizarre in context - possibly, our own tales in our own context, too.
One woman’s nose and two men’s hubris and a bizarre tale of 19th century science gone wrong. This nasogenital theory tried to link nasal shape to sexual health and reveals how medicine can be shaped more by bias than fact buff.ly/TwZjyJ6

The Origin of the Research University
Universities have existed for more than a thousand years — and for almost all of that time, they weren’t centers of research. What changed in 19th century Germany?

Open access as of today ... in which I give my take on why and how political philosophy and normative theorizing should go empirical. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
On the Very Concept of Discrimination: Towards a Radical Publicity of Normative Theorizing - Res Publica
I argue for a radical publicity of normative theorizing. Such radical publicity derives from the fact that it is not chiefly the normative principles that should enjoy some stable public acceptance, but the key concepts themselves such as ‘democracy’ and ‘discrimination’. These ‘thick concepts’ contain both descriptive and normative content and are up for grabs in normative theorizing to an extent that has not been appreciated thus far by philosophers and theorists. My argument focuses on the case of normative theorizing about discrimination, and I review some pertinent recent examples of experimental philosophy that indicate what radical publicity might require and also sketch some further suggestions for meeting the requirements of radical publicity going forward.
