VibesMy First PhD babies: Fanon, Violence, Ethics and Perpetual StruggleWell hey everyone. Happy '25.
In this episode, I monologue for a bit on the first babies of my PhD-- the research papers I worked on in my first term.
There is still work to be done on them, and these are all overviews, but I hope you, at the very least, find them interesting.
I talk about Fanon and some ethical considerations regarding decolonial violence, and (my issues with) the concept of Perpetual Struggle argued for by the philosopher Kathryn Norlock.

Journal EntriesCan’t Complain with Kathryn NorlockComplaining about our pains is often viewed as weak or soft. Kant and Aristotle went so far as to say that it should never be done. And they say it's something a real man would never do. But could complaining actually be a virtue, even when you can't fix the thing that makes you sad or mad? When done well, complaining can expose our vulnerabilities, invite others to commiserate over share pains, affirm and validate experiences, and just maybe--help us all feel a little less alone.
