So sad to learn of the death of Christopher Tilley the author of immensely influential works such as A Phenomenology of Landscape. We also co-edited a book and closely collaborated in Material Culture Studies at UCL. He will be much missed by his students, friends and colleagues.

Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

Listen to @Simon_price01 pay tribute to Neil Kulkarni and hear how more than £32,000 has been fundraised to help support his family: bbc.in/3Hv5KNn

Oh man ….Neil …. 🙏🏿… wow
@MrChuckD interviewer here, Neil Kulkarni, has sadly passed away at the age of 51.
Lots of lovely tributes on here for him today; and a modest fundraiser for his family that I will share next.
He must have been barely 21 or 22 in 1995, and he wasn’t wrong. His first, excellent book was Bring the Noise.
RIP.
