Twitter, I need some #historyofphilosophy help! I *think* that Hilda Diana Oakeley became the UK's first female Reader in Philosophy, at KCL in 1921. But perhaps there are other UK women philosophers who achieved the role first?

French philosopher Henri Bergson was once an international celebrity: riots at Paris lectures, first ever traffic jam on New York's Broadway.
Come listen to @EtheHerring chat with me at @CollectedDurham about her brand new Bergson book - the book, and the chat, will be epic.
Last week we had @PeterWest23 as our first speaker on the (women) In Parenthesis Seminar Series. If you missed his talk, you can catch up on YouTube here:

I wrote something about the ethics of social media, thinking of this place, and a conversation with @HealthUntoDeath
It touches upon calls for civility, and whether they blunt serious resistance to power.
