I'm on BBC Radio 4 MORAL MAZE tonight 2000 talking about why the Right to Idleness should be relabelled the Right to Freedom to Spend your Life in Self-Fulfilment. We don't have positive language for the goal of freedom from labouring for others to survive.

This paper argues that common definitions of 'theory' are too restrictive. To redress this, the paper elaborates a typology that clarifies multiple meanings of theory and allows for several kinds of scientific knowledge

(Thread) At @AsiaSocietySF Future of US-China:
1. When Great Powers see only a landscape of zero-sum competition between them, it is a matter of logic that not even the best goodwill, diplomacy, or strategic management will shift those nations away from head-on rivalry.

A little 🧵. There are approaches in Migration Studies that (still) believe governments can turn migration on and off like a tap. That they can simply ‘manage’ and neatly regulate migration through policy tools, usually depending on supposed market needs. 1/11

Based on actual voting, women are more than half of Malaysia's electorate. They are not all the same & deserving of more substantive commitments. Harapan not alone in treating women as one 'special'/same group & making assumption women predominantly mothers w/ children.

So this is your #InternationalWomensDay reminder that the past had female geniuses in it too, it’s just that we don’t often have their work to celebrate. So here’s to Sappho, Hypatia, Artemisia and every woman whose work you discovered for yourself. Keep looking, keep reading.

We know virtually nothing about Sappho: we have only a handful of poems and a bunch of fragments. I would rather read these fragments that almost any complete poem because they are compact, glittering jewels. (1/2)

I wrote about how older generations came to equate "young people things", like Netflix and the gym, with "luxury", and why this thinking makes it impossible for them to understand why millennials can't afford to buy a house newstatesman.com/society/202…

The grave impact these migrant workers have to face is unfair given the lack of focus given to the employers that have used their service for a below minimum wage which will also not be paid now that they are detained.
