Easily the best workshop out there for academics looking to do public-facing work.
The last workshop will run this summer - apply by March 1st! Link below
Do you want to live a good life? Of course! Who wouldn't? The harder question is how to do it.
I'm teaching a Thomistic Institute reading group on Zoom in March, open to all college students. Join us to learn more about Aquinas's views on happiness!

I grew up the son of a Baptist preacher. Unsurprisingly, the first time I read the word βphilosophyβ was in the Bible. The message was not a positive one.
And somehow I still ended up a philosophy professor!
Our first full year at @thephilosopher.bsky.social just wrapped, and what a year it was. It has been humbling, building a website and teaching library from scratch. For helping me learn that there are many, many things I don't know how to do, thank you to everyone who made it possible!
No way thereβs another discipline with more inaccurate caricatures
The good news: There is a new movie about philosophy professors out on @primevideo.bsky.social
The bad news:
A Korean translation of my @1000wordphilosophy.bsky.social article on epistemic arguments for democracy is now available. Unfortunately I can't read it to see if they translated me correctly. An overlooked application for Google translate

Along the way, we touched on:
π How teaching in the Mississippi Delta reshaped my vision of education
π Why philosophy must move beyond specialization to recover its practical vocation
π The βPhilosophy as a Way of Lifeβ movement and its call to form whole persons
I was interviewed for the Classical Commons podcast on @thephillibrary.bsky.social. The question - can the Library be a good resource for classical educators?

New @thephillibrary.bsky.social promo video just dropped. Enjoy the drone shots of @notredame.bsky.social's campus!
NBC came to my class! Proud of my students for stepping out of their comfort zones and discussing difficult issues with their peers.
Interested in what we are doing at the Chase Center?
We will be hiring several faculty members this year at all levels. Deadline is the end of the day on October 10th (link in comments)
1 year down. And we're just getting started
From my wife Laura on political signaling while mourning Charlie Kirk. There's no need for "even though I don't agree with his politics..."
"The psychological impulse of our culture has become to see a personβs politicized identities before we see the person who possesses them."
Can't say enough good things about @edutmer.bsky.social scholarship in ancient philosophy. Glad we could feature him on @thephillibrary.bsky.social !
Judahβs first tailgate. Go Buckeyes!
Somehow they chose a philosopher to teach the first Chase Center class on the Declaration of Independence. Good luck to all involved (including myself!)
Have heard complaints that there are not good, accessible teaching materials on conservative political thought.
Here is just that from @tristanjrogers1.bsky.social
With commitment, anything can be a bed
And while we're at it, here is a recent article from the Center's very own Nathan Oakes over at the @thephillibrary.bsky.social
