New paper out!! I argue against the view that conversational silence standardly indicates agreement (even absent certain defeating conditions). This paper emerged from a chapter of my PhD, so it's nice to finally see it out in the world :)

If you’re interested in what Beauvoir has to say about love—or curious about why people still talk about *The Second Sex* 75 years after its publication—this is a live conversation for you.

The final day of #SEP2024 opened with a riveting keynote address from Irene McMullin! I’m still thinking about how humour and motherhood can provide privileged perspectives on others on Murdoch’s account, and what kind of social ontology this entails…
