Important topic in Dutch academia picked up DJA - and while we're at it, could we also talk about the almost complete lack of PhD funding for students who have their own ideas? www.dejongeakademie.nl/en/news/3224...

Off to Marburg today, and tomorrow Giessen - for the "Lahngespräche 2026" on political epistemology: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns....

We live in a funny world - this little book is now apparently "out", though I haven't seen physical copies or so. Instead, I was alerted by a Mastodon bot written by a colleague that notices new publications by our faculty members.
Well, there it is :)

A very different type of publication - thanks to De Jonge Akademie: a "lespakket" about markets and morals (think: Satz, Sandel, etc.), for 10-14 year old kids, with power points, thought experiment set up, and all. Available here: kidlab.nl/wp-content/u...
We have now entered the most catastrophic phase of the war in Sudan.

Today's crazy world, data point #473: My mom helps out in a food pantry in rural Germany. And they now got contacted by American soldiers and civil servants from a nearby US-army base, because people have not received salaries for months because of the government shutdown...
Julie Rose and Tom Parr are two fantastic commentators to have!!! Looking forward to the discussion (online, see registration link on the website)! visions-for-the-future.sites.uu.nl/events/speak...
For the fourth episode (and one of my favourites so far) I got to interview @lisamherzog.bsky.social. It was a pleasure to listen to her "slightly crazy" takes on political philosophy, going to the opera (which she suggests to all philosophy students) and anarchism.
Watch/listen here or on Spotify!
Together with Tatiana Llaguno, I've returned to Hegel after a long time - connecting his thinking to the philosophy of work :) Available in open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A conversation with Jeff Church about The Democratic Marketplace: www.podomatic.com/podcasts/the...
“...when a strategy fails, those at the top ...blame it on implementation lower down: “If only you dumbbells appreciated the brilliance of the strategy we formulated…” Well, those dumbbells ...might well respond: “If you’re so smart, why didn’t you take into account the fact that we are dumbbells?”
yes, I've read Herrscht, which, on its own, is so overwhelmingly good that it deserves the prize!
Coming this Thursday: Webinar on the German translation of the Democratize Work book! See all info here: democratizingwork.org
Starting in 15 minutes: www.political-theory.org/13509612 (I'm only there digitally, but that at least spares one all headaches about US border policies...)
The nice thing about co-authoring is that you learn so much from your fellow authors - here is another case :) link.springer.com/article/10.1...
