I don't think it's being recorded, unfortunately. But eventually I'll write up a paper about it :)

Instead of thinking about motivation, I'll look at things like epistemic agency, aesthetics, values, individualism, meritocracy and injustices.
tl;dr Gamification can be great, but we should be careful about what are set up as values and what expectations people get about their agency

Tomorrow I'll be talking about disciplinary marginalisation. Feminist philosophy of science has moved from the margins to the mainstream. Feminist philosophy isn't niche, and now we know it! But we have to keep up solidarity amongst feminist philosophers of all stripes.

We shouldn't be complacent about the status of feminist work in mainstream philosophy of science, especially not today. And it's not just censorship and bans. Cuts to academia all over the place threaten marginalised work and marginalised scholars.

I'm kicking it off with some words from @shaslang.bsky.social. Fifteen years ago but still feels very relevant today, especially given rising precarity in academia.

One pretty obvious bias: we tend to notice male birds more, because they're flashier and easier to identify. So we end up with sexist science where males are overrepresented.

Bird science has a bro-bias
Scientists just recently decided to study female birds. What they found astounded them.
