    Earlier in the year I asked philosophers on Twitter which papers or books had changed their minds. I made the list into a shared library, which you can find here:

  2. Despite knowing how rarely student feedback is useful for tracking teaching quality, some nice feedback today has really brightened up my week. I'm very conflicted right now.

    Reading good writing is an excellent way to identify something worth aspiring to. But reading bad writing is perhaps even more important because it's a necessary reminder that not being as good as you want to be should never be a reason that stops you.

    This year, my lecture is at 2pm instead of 9am & as a result attendance has risen from 10-20% to 65-80%. We know that attendance correlates very strongly with attainment, & that is why I think timetabling is more important than a host of teaching innovations.

    Over the past few years one of the lectures on my first year module was scheduled for 9am on a Thursday. Sports & social night is on a Wednesday & many first years live in a student village several miles away. Attendance levels were generally 10-20%.

    Seriously, agricultural scientists: you need to stop this. You do not need to measure blood cortisol concentrations to know that hitting an animal or shouting at it frightens it, or that cutting bits off an animal hurts it. We're past disproving Descartes these days.

    What's next, a study to test if prodding a cow with an electric goad or a dog biting a sheep & barking at it will result in the animals being frightened & in pain? Oh, wait, I see that loads of studies of this sort have already been carried out.

    Today I learn that 'vocal responses may be a reliable indicator of pain' in castrated piglets, & that 'studies with cattle indicate that hitting is fear provoking'. No shit Sherlock!

    Englishness seems to be analogous to maleness, where men are simultaneously strong & tough, yet have their masculinity threatened by kindness, housework, & the colour pink.

    And yet we are paradoxically told that we are the most resilient of peoples, with our perpetual 'Dunkirk spirit' & that our nation & culture are impressively strong, never to be defeated, Rule Britannia & all that guff. Fragile & deluded.

    Good tutorial discussion today on inequality in higher education, the BAME attainment gap, & the Stormzy vs Dulwich College bursary arguments. Followed by discussion with second years about fairness, cultural rights, & whether Welsh language provision ought to be funded by UK.

    Had a horrible stress dream last night that my tutorials had been rescheduled so that two of them ran at the same time & I had to choose which group of students to teach & which to let down. Reading week can't come soon enough.

    Nicky Morgan is now entitled to claim £300 a day of taxpayers money, 38 weeks a year, for the rest of her life, just because Johnson needed a stop gap culture secretary basically over Christmas. It is a terrible system.

    If i was an academic philosopher i would simply publish consistent, original research in top journals while traveling several times a year and teaching three classes a semester all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
