On January 19, 2026 Christopher Smith and I were discussants at a book event for Peter Wiseman hosted by the ICS and the BSR. I wrote a number of blog posts before that event related to my preparation to respond to Wiseman’s recent work. The event was recorded and I’ve just found the that recording while writing up the report of my activities while on this fellowship.
