I'm so pleased to say that I (along with Holly Handley and Brian Payne) have been awarded a @NEHgov Humanities Connections Implementation grant to add a humanities-focused concentration and minor to our new School of Data Science! Woo-hoo!

Friends! I need your help. What are your favorite examples of political speeches where folks made mistakes (intentionally or not)? Or of advertisements that try to be vague in order to sell a product? Or of newspapers that cover different stories in different ways?

I'm working on a book on a Susan Stebbing's kick ass notion of common sense. I want to apply her notion to things going on today. Stebbing wrote a textbook on logic using motsly examples from politics, the media and advertising, and I want to mimic that.

In it, we provide the details of a classical first-order system and compare it to some alternatives (higher-order, intuitionistic, and some paraconsistent stuff).

I am so excited to say that I'll be starting an @NEHgov fellowship in the fall. I'll spend the year working on Stebbing, common sense and critical thinking. I cannot wait to get started!

I'm going to write a book giving a precise definition of common sense (for Stebbing), showing how it can inform directional analysis, and using that to develop new (or, rather, revitalize old) teaching methods for critical thinking classes.

Well, this feels silly (but hopefully not in poor taste): I have some money which was meant to go towards travel this year that I need to spend by June. I can use it for books and other research-related things. I'm taking suggestions! What would you buy? I'm open to anything!

Going from waitressing a year ago to now carries a LOT of life-adjustments. But 3 paychecks in has shown me how 1 of the greatest scams in US is the idea that financial struggle is due to “poor character.” It’s a huge myth designed to keep people from empowering themselves. /1

Filippo Ferrari and Eugenio Orlandelli just published a paper which directly addresses and criticizes a paper of mine. I feel like this means I've made it as a philosopher! Also, the paper is great (and wrong, but the good kind of wrong). Check it out: link.springer.com/article/10…
