My intellectual biography of Jürgen Habermas as a public intellectual just came out. I had planned on sending him a copy, but it was not to be. At least I got to discuss my ideas with him during a magical visit to his home in Starnberg in June 2024 cup.columbia.edu/book/jurgen-ha…

I’m delighted to be delivering the 9th annual Adams Lecture in the Public Humanities at UNC on April 17th, “First Among Equals: Redeeming Equality as a Political Ideal.” Details at the link: philosophy.unc.edu/event/the-nint…

Congrats to Teresa Bejan: “ An incisive account of how equality transformed from an abstract ideal into a concrete social and political vision, thanks to seventeenth-century English dissidents like the Levellers and the political philosophers they inspired.” hup.harvard.edu/books/97806742…

@rationalcreatur He’s right!

@tmbejan Wow! Can't wait. I've been working a lot on Kojeve's book on law, and the "first among equals" concept is important to him (he thinks equality is originally an aristocratic concept)

Excited to see this out in the world! hup.harvard.edu/books/97806742…

Columbia Core is hiring lecturers

@JRakove One step at a time…

@tmbejan Or almost out, given that the pub date is a mere seven months away. But I'll be excited then, too!

My second book, First Among Equals, is now up on the HUP website, coming out this October.

@glukianoff God I hope so, will raise this with my editor…otherwise I’ll just record myself reading the whole bloody thing and send to select recipients…

@tmbejan Will there be an audiobook? (I know I know, but I love being in motion all the time.)

Oriel College was founded #OnThisDay 700 years ago 🎉 On 21 January 1326, King Edward II issued a royal charter confirming our first provost Adam de Brome’s foundation of a “certain college of scholars” in Oxford. @UniofOxford @OxUniStudents

A superb essay by Marie Newhouse on the history of the idea of "civility," in part by way of Teresa Bejan's work: chronicle.com/article/the-ca…

My article in the Chronicle of Higher Education this week tells the tale: chronicle.com/article/the-ca… 2/2

Thanks, Prof Bejan! Your work opened the door to a new diagnosis of the 2023 campus breakdowns and a better way forward for university leaders. 1/2

It’s an honor to be read so well—and to be made to see that this argument still matters, thank you Prof Newhouse!

I have an essay in the @chronicle today: The Campus Civility Collapse. I draw on @tmbejan's work to explain what happened in 2023 & suggest a new policy approach: "The timeless insight that emerges from Bejan’s analysis is that no community can be all things to all people..." 1/2

Delighted to announce our first academic post in the Centre for Advanced Social Science Methods (CASSM). The position is Associate Professor in Politics, Technology and Computational Social Science and is joint with Politics, the Oxford Internet Institute, and Reuben College 1/n
