I guess it's time for re-#introductions !

I'm a philosopher, working in epistemology, metaphysics, phil of mind, and philosophical logic.

I am currently starting a postdoc position with a project on knowledge-how.

also a bit of a programmer and musician, sometimes, not often.

OK, thanks for the feedback! I have submitted the second topic.

Another paper submitted.

Thinking of submitting something to #SummerSchool.

Two ideas:

1) If we think of understanding in terms of compression, and if we examine how inquiry works, we notice that sometimes formulating a good puzzle requires making things apparently less compressible before making them compressible and thus more understandable. how does this work?

2) philosophers sometimes talk about knowledge of things as well as knowledge of propositions. can we make sense of knowledge of questions also?

Made some changes to one of the papers that got rejected earlier this year and submitted it to a different journal. Hope it does well.

another draft complete. again a long paper (~12k words). really need to start writing shorter pieces...

this was a class where I made the mistake of having my students read way more difficult things than strictly speaking necessary, and I was left with the impression that it had been more of a disaster than anything else. so i'm really glad that at least it worked for some of them.

just got an email from a teacher I TA'ed for in 2017-2018 for a BA level class on Theory of Knowledge, forwarding an email he got from a student. they wanted to add me to the acknowledgements of their masters thesis, because they thought the fact that I made them read female philosophers made a difference for them, and one of the topics we discussed back then (epistemic injustice) was central to their current work. BIG PROUD MOMENT.
