#Dialogical
I wish more aspiring academics really appreciated this aspect, that academia is dialogical. You have to be able to extemporaneously defend your ideas and discuss them in great detail, orally. You have to know it well enough to have it at your fingertips.
At PhD/post-PhD level, academia is fundamentally dialogical and unless you intend to hide behind a prompt your whole life, you are going to look like a fool when you open your mouth and don't have a working understanding of the things you profess to write about.

My paper 'Diagrams as joint epistemic actions: A dialogical account of diagrams in mathematical proofs' is now online #OpenAccess at the Journal of Mathematical Behavior. Abstract 👇

It was fun to 'meet' again my old friends Prover and Skeptic 😀

This is not something we will win with propaganda, we will only win with *action* alongside dialogical education

New paper with @ankuepfer.bsky.social accepted at EJPR🎉
When do MPs debate each other & when do they avoid discourse? Applying a new framework to study the emergence of elite discourse, we find that ideology and gov/opp dynamics shape MPs incentives to seek & avoid dialogical interactions. #polisky

Every time I think I’m finally gonna be chill about metaphysics, very dialogical, so patient, I end up being none of those things. Again.

As I’ve said before: we’re really eager for people to get excommunicated, but Catholic authorities typically wield that against minority Catholics. (One reason bishops’ reluctance to throw their weight around is a net good: it’s more relational, dialogical, conversion-of-hearts-y [science term].)

Incredibly interesting talk by @cdutilhnovaes.bsky.social on errors in mathematics at the Perspectives on Scientific Error conference. What a speaker! Check out her book www.cambridge.org/core/books/d...

The primary barrier to engaging in collective dialogical learning is that so many of the people around us and in our circles are only prepared for debate bro style interactions. We have almost no culture of collaborative knowledge creation.

From my previous research project, but also relevant for argumentation in general, my book 'The Dialogical Roots of Deduction', winner of the 2022 Lakatos Award.

i believe in a humanistic dialogical form of inquiry in which my research subjects eventually accept my interpretation of them

New paper out! We propose a novel dialogical method for qual interviews using audio-visual elicitation + mid-point member reflection. It sparked fresh insights for participants & researchers alike.

For my friends in Bari (Italy). A debate about my book, Against Symbolic Liberalism: A Plea for Dialogical Sociology. It is now in Italian as well. The debate will be in two languages

I love this dialogical format - we paired, commented and asked each other questions - which really opens up the actual research process as it usually happens behind the relatively closed doors of seminars and conferences.
Proud to have been working closely together in dialogue with colleagues from Eastern European and European history on this wonderful format, thinking together on how as historians we can listen to subaltern groups speak, wherever they are:

As it happens, I was just writing a paper on diagrams in mathematical proofs, so I've been hanging out with my old friends Prover and Skeptic 😆 By now my book 'The Dialogical Roots of Deduction' has been published for 4 years, but it's a gift that keeps on giving.

Ethics & research. Updates.
"...[ethics boards] ‘must have the right to monitor, recommend changes to, withdraw approval for, & suspend ongoing research.’ ...suggests that... work...may need to become more relational and dialogical, rather than being primarily compliance-based".
Hurrah. #Autism

While full text has yet to emerge, in Red Mass homily, DC’s Cardinal McElroy summons lawmakers to become “architects of hope,” cites “assassination of Charlie Kirk” and “assault on the Capitol” as examples that “we live in a moment where politics has become tribal, not dialogical.”
