This was such a great conversation, and such a fun opportunity to explore some methodological tensions internal to classical and contemporary phenomenology. Thank you @jyoshimi.bsky.social and @trsam97.bsky.social!

My partner has started a newsletter/recommendations list/short-form blog/tl;dr for novels so you sound cool at parties. It mainly focuses on experimental and translated literature, so if that's your vibe, check it out: www.thebookhold.com
My entry on "Humanism" for Springer's (truly excellent!) Encyclopedia of Phenomenology is out now: An attempt to grapple with a notoriously slippery concept, on whose definition (and philosophical or political significance) no two phenomenologists can ever seem to agree!
Thank you Cara Greene for including my History of American Philosophy course in the APA Syllabus Showcase Series!

Many thanks to University of Nevada, Reno for the occasion to return to this project.
