My paper “Aesthetic Value and the Practice of Aesthetic Valuing” won the 2026 Arthur Danto Prize, and there will be a symposium on the paper at the upcoming Eastern APA with @rkubala.bsky.social and @kennywalden.bsky.social. I hope my fellow conferencefolk will join us!
My paper on aesthetic reactive attitudes is now out in Phil Imprint! This one took many years and several dramatically different forms, and I'm really happy with the final version. Thanks @bweatherson.bsky.social for the nice summary, and be sure to check out all the papers that dropped today :)

Check out my interview with @rkubala.bsky.social on the aesthetics of crossword puzzles!!! Why do crosswords merit aesthetic experience? Can they give rise to the sublime? Are British- better than US-style crosswords? Are crossword puzzles ever art?
I had such a blast talking with Justin & Laura about "Enemy," a puzzly and chaotic film—check out our conversation!
