When I was reflecting on my career for my retirement conference I realised it was built on three things I was advised no respectable philosophy academic should do

1 Write texts for students

2 Write collaborative public policy reports

3 Co-author philosophical research

My advice. Do your thing.

Really looking forward to giving the keynote at this important seminar at Trinity College, Dublin next week: The Inclusive University in Theory and Practice.

Here's the new book from which that re-use of our take on #EpistemicFluency comes.

link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Extract from a new book, citing Markauskaite & Goodyear (2017) on epistemic fluency. Defined as: Epistemic fluency is the capacity to understand, switch between, and combine different kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing about the world. It involves being able to integrate theoretical, practical, and tacit knowledge, and to apply these flexibly in real-world problem-solving—especially in complex, interdisciplinary, or intercultural contexts.

It is *always* a buzz seeing other people, in other fields, on other parts of the planet, pick up on ideas one has had a hand in researching. #EpistemicFluency #ProfessionalEducation

Much appreciated Jo, as ever.
