What Do Philosophers Do? Maddy, Moore and Wittgenstein
No full textThe paper discusses and presents an alternative interpretation to Penelope Maddy’s reading of G.E. Moore’s and Ludwig Wittgenstein’s anti-skeptical strategies as proposed in her book What Do Philosophers Do? Skepticism and the Practice of Philosophy. It connects this discussion with the methodological claims Maddy puts forward and offers an alternative to her therapeutic reading of Wittgenstein’s On Certainty
Bolt’s Bunch: Mt Stuart Elementary/ TeachStem Robotics Demonstration
No full textJoin us for a demonstration from the Mt. Stuart Elementary School robotics team who just returned from the 2022 VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas, Texas. Central Washington University’s TeachSTEM program has supported the robotics club at Mt. Stuart for the last four years, through student internships and volunteering efforts at local competitions, some of which have been held at CWU. The team, named Bolt’s Bunch in honor of their robot, Bolt, is comprised of Emery Klyve, Aspen Moore, and Maddy Bryant. They were awarded the Design Award, granted based on interview skills and a very detailed engineering notebook. Jason Eng—a CWU alumnus, Mt. Stuart P.E. teacher, and robotics team head coach—says the competition builds the core competency of teamwork
'Do it Yourself' Girl Revolution: LadyFest, Performance and Fanzine Culture
No full textRiot grrrl began as an independent music and political movement in the early 1990s emerging initially in the USA and few years later in the UK. From the beginning riot grrrl embraced a 'do-it-yourself' ethos operating outside the mainstream music business organising independent music festivals, workshop events and encouraging self-published fanzines (fan magazines which were distributed primarily through word of mouth, music gigs, artists and zine book fairs or by post). These zines became recognisable forms of personal expression and made visible a specific DIY approach alongside the development of a coherent style of graphic language in the producer's use of the photocopier, handwritten and graffiti texts, cut-n-paste and ransom note lettering style, collage and the co-option of mainstream media imagery. These production techniques made fanzine publishing accessible and played a central role in the development of a non-hierarchical community.
The main intent of this talk is to explore the idea of 'event as performance' using as a case study the specific activities of riot grrrl and focussing on a series of international events called 'LadyFests' and the graphic language of self-published riot grrrl fanzines. This will be achieved by examining the origins of today's riot grrrl performances (e.g. theatre, spoken word, music events) in 1970s feminist art, as well as locating the activities within the specific context of their counter-cultural predecesors including punk and punk performance
Maddy and Mathematics: Naturalism or Not
No full textPenelope Maddy advances a purportedly naturalistic account of mathematical methodology which might be taken to answer the question \u27What justifies axioms of set theory?\u27 I argue that her account fails both to adequately answer this question and to be naturalistic. Further, the way in which it fails to answer the question deprives it of an analog to one of the chief attractions of naturalism. Naturalism is attractive to naturalists and nonnaturalists alike because it explains the reliability of scientific practice. Maddy\u27s account, on the other hand, appears to be unable to similarly explain the reliability of mathematical practice without violating one of its central tenets. 1 Introduction 2 Mathematical Naturalism 3 Desiderata and the attraction of naturalism 4 Assessment: Naturalism and names 4.1 Taking \u27naturalism\u27 seriously 4.2 Second philosophy (or what\u27s in a name) 5 A way out? 6 Or out of the way?

What Do Philosophers Do? Maddy, Moore (and Wittgenstein) II
No full textThe chapter takes issue with Professor Maddy's reply (2018) to my commentary (Coliva in International Journal for the Study of Skepticism 8:198–207, 2018) on her account of Moore's[aut]Moore, G.E. proof in What Philosophers do. SkepticismSkepticism and the Practice of Philosophy (2017). In particular, I argue that transcendental idealism was the target of Moore's proof, rather than skepticism; that he did not dismiss Cartesian skepticismCartesian skepticism as illegitimate or even nonsensical; yet thought that since knowledge of the premises of his proof, such as “Here is one hand”, and “Here is another”, does not depend on being able to prove that one is not dreaming, contra Cartesian skepticism, he did have knowledge of them. Moore's defence of the good standing of his proof was thus based on embracing a proto-externalist account of knowledge, according to which knowledge (K) does not entail knowing how one knows, in the specific sense of being able to prove that one knows (KK)
A theory of the university organisation as diarchy: understanding how deans and faculty managers in Australian universities work together across academic and administrative domains
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2005 Amanda (Maddy) McMaster.Changes in higher education have given rise to new management roles in Australian universities. These include the emergence of the professional university administrator and new responsibilities for senior staff such as deans and faculty managers.
The thesis contends that these changes have led to increased role conflict between administrative and academic staff and the evolution of dual authority structures in universities. It demonstrates that existing theories are not adequate to explain practices, relationships, and roles in contemporary universities. The study proposes a new theory of the university organisation as a diarchy. This theory is derived from an analysis of interviews with deans and faculty managers in seven Australian universities. The theoretical framework used for this part of the study, the layered systems model, emphasises the need to consider multiple perspectives in any organisational analysis.
The empirical study finds evidence from multiple sources to support the existence of the diarchy: an administrative and an academic domain with distinct assumptions about the nature of work, structures and processes, and the basis of authority. The diarchy is most evident in informal structures such as the working relationships between pairs of deans and faculty managers. The study finds that partnerships between these pairs vary in ways not related to their formal responsibilities nor the particular faculty or university environment. Three models are identified: the nested partnership, the conjoint partnership, and the segmented partnership. There is a positive correlation between identification of deans and faculty managers with either the administrative or academic domain and the partnership style of a particular pair.
The findings of the study provide new insights into the debate about collegial and managerialist models of universities, and suggest strategies that could be used by universities to support the professionalisation of administrators and to shape work cultures to align with institutional goals

Alchemy of feelings: Loss, laughter, eros, and new gender subjectivities
No full text“The lights were low, all the candles on fertility altar lit, the mood—just right. Maddy pulled out all her blowjob tricks—the pepper grinder, the text message, the piccolo tickolo. Leroy was overcum with ecstasy as he spunked into a cup.” So begins the pornographic performance entitledMaddy & Leroy’s Artifuckial Insemination, a kinky tale of a heterosexual couple’s experience with an artificial insemination. It proceeds like this: Leroy spanks and doses Maddy with a hormonal supplement, Maddy orgasms first upon hearing that her insurance pays for the hormones and then several times more after being double-teamed by two female doctors wielding a vibrating, sperm-injecting turkey baster. As the author narrates the story from the side, an exotic dancer playfully strips off a lab coat and bra, flosses between her legs with a stethoscope, and shoots white liquid out of a syringe. And all along everyone laughs because—clearly—none of this is hot…or is it?
