Thanks for sharing! I really feel you, from what you are saying here it sounds a similarly absurd situation! Happy yours got solved in a positive way! 😉 hoping and fearing over here

Have you ever had a situation in which a delivery could decide your next couple of years? I sent some documents through both currier and postal service. Neither of the two delivered in time. The office to which they were destinated is now unsure about the possibility of accepting them with delays...

Thanks for sharing this Jack! I tend to be quite bad at pinning down the reasons of emotional reactions. What you say here resonates for me though. Being aware of all the possible objections is another bit of it, I do not want to be too defensive and there is not enough space to reply to everything

Gosh! It is one of those things in which just practice improves the situation! Got you! Thanks anyway! I really appreciate the fact that I am not alone in this experience 💕

Yeah, I mean, I understand. My emotional reaction does not make any sense to me...but it keeps happening...the list of journals sound like a good idea, I usually have a couple of possible places in mind, but it might help having a list of venues that can sound like a plan! Thank you!

How do academics manage when they have contracts constantly delayed/postponed/put on "pending for request of further documents"? how do you preserve your mental health? and how do you survive materially speaking? ....asking for a friend...

Thanks for sharing this, Alfredo! Very comforting to hear that it gets better over time! Any strategy that has made you feel better and has strengthen your resilience besides keep going and keep submitting?

I finished the draft of a paper yesterday and I started noting a pattern with my submissions...every time I feel that I am close to submitting a paper my anxiety skyrocket all at a sudden which does not make much sense as the work is basically done, anyone else like me?

What do people do when they start a novel and they realise that they hate it? I have always convinced myself that the best path was to finish the book to give it a proper chance....but for the first time in my life, I am a third into the book and I am considering giving up on what I am reading!

I created a new instagram profile where I plan to share reels about interesting philosophical ideas that I have come across in my research, teaching, and, more generally, in reading philosophy. Give me a follow, if you are curious about what I have bumped into while writing on perceiving music!

There's still one month left to send in your submissions for MindGrad 2026!

I had a great time last week at the European Network for Philosophy of Music presenting my research and having interesting conversations with so many music and philosophy people!

Looking forward to presenting tomorrow at the Royal Music Association Conference - programme looks just amazing!

I am thinking about getting involved in more public engagement activities to promote philosophy outside the university. I have some experience but I would love more suggestions: Philosophers, what do you do to engage the general public in philosophy making?

I had a great experience at the end of last week at SIFA Conference 2025 - "Minds and Worlds"! My paper was well received, and I now have a good idea to fix my introduction! I enjoyed it so much meeting up with both new colleagues and old friends!

And thanks to everyone who contributed as authors, reviewers & editors!

In 2023/2024, I acted as a research assistant on a project on barriers to conducting research. Our first paper just got published! I am extremely thankful to my team and to my manager for this interesting and very needed work!

In 2024, as research assistant, I could support a project on barriers to conducting research. It has been my first time getting involved in empirical research and I am so happy that my team just received an acceptance for our first paper!

Woke up to a paper rejection this morning....yet, some of the comments are really helpful, and most of them are expressed in a supportive, charitable tone...half a win? First time receiving a rejection which does not make me want to run away from toxic patterns in academia!

One of my best PhD buddies is off to China shortly after passing her Viva recently. I miss her already even if she just visited us for one last cup of tea! I am so grateful that I have had her in my academic and personal journey. She is such a caring, kind soul, and a smart, supportive academic.

Warwick postgraduate office S 2.37 (academic year 2022/2023) at the University of Glasgow for #jointsession25 ! Catching up after several months of visiting and other less positive events that have kept us apart over the winter and seeing each other becoming Drs - such fabulous feelings! 🎓 🎓 🎓

#JointSession25 is well under way! Very enthusiastic about this philosophical trip to Scotland and had a great time yesterday presenting my talk "On the distinctiveness of listening to music" in the first OpenSession Saturday session!

Getting ready for #jointsession25 - philosophers, who else is coming to Glasgow this weekend?

On the concept of musical virtuosity The concept of virtuosity plays a distinctive role in our understanding of performance arts, and of music in particular. In this paper we provide a new account of virtuosity as it applies to musica...

Very happy to announce that our paper (with Felipe Morales Carbonell ) on the concept of musical virtuosity is now out in Inquiry!

I felt the writing of this piece was so enjoyable! I can't thank enough my coauthor for this other collaboration... to many more to come!

I had an amazing time in Athens at the European Society for Aesthetics annual conference! My presentation was very well received and provided me with an opportunity to discuss new ideas for my future research with very passionate researchers! I had a blast!

Knowing how to listen: musical professionals listening to music The idea that musical professionals with extended musical knowledge, training and exposure to musical pieces, can perceive music differently than other listeners - I call this the Difference Thesis...

My first single authored paper....has been published online! It is Open Access!

In this piece, I reflect on how musical professionals (namely highly competent listeners) perceive music looking at cases of employment of auditory perception in musical practices
