    Why didn't you scream? Epistemic injustices of sexism, misogyny and rape myths
    Journal of Philosophy of Education 56 (5): 787-801. 2022.
    In this paper, I discuss rape myths and mythologies, their negative effects on rape and sexual assault complainants, and how they prejudicially construct women qua women. The backdrop for the analysis is the Belfast Rugby Rape Trial, which took place in 2018. Four men, two of whom were well-known rugby players, were acquitted of rape and sexual assault in a nine-week criminal trial that dominated local, national and international attention. The acquittal resulted in ‘I Believe Her’ rallies and p…Read more

    Just Google it! Digital literacy and the epistemology of ignorance
    with Ibrar Bhatt
    Teaching in Higher Education 24 (3): 302-317. 2019.
    In this paper we examine digital literacy and explicate how it relates to the philosophical study of ignorance. Using data from a study which explores the knowledge producing work of undergraduate students as they wrote course assignments, we argue that a social practice approach to digital literacy can help explain how epistemologies of ignorance may be sustained. If students are restricted in what they can know because they are unaware of exogenous actors, and how they guide choices and shape …Read more

    Riots and Reactions: Hypocrisy and Disaffiliation?
    with Nicki Hedge
    Journal of Philosophy of Education 49 (3): 329-346. 2015.
    The August 2011 riots in England occasioned widespread condemnation from government and the media. Here, we apply the concepts of hypocrisy and affiliation to explore reactions to these riots. Initially acknowledging that politics necessitates a degree of hypocrisy, we note that some forms of hypocrisy are indefensible: they compromise integrity. With rioters condemned as thugs and members of a feral underclass, some reactions exemplified forms of corrosive hypocrisy that deflected attention awa…Read more

    Beyond Care?
    with Nicki Hedge
    Journal of Philosophy of Education 46 (2): 192-206. 2012.
    Care is a feature of all of our lives, all of the time. An analysis of Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence reveals that care and caring permeate complex dimensions of life in and after school and we ask here, if, on some accounts, care can do the work required of it. Acknowledging the significance of her contribution to care, we focus on the work of Nel Noddings suggesting that she pays insufficient attention to other emotions implicated in the work of morally appropriate care. We argue here th…Read more
