Answer: Lord of the Rings
A PowerPoint slide showing a photo of a Pontins holiday resort, a photo of Elon Musk, and a photo of the philosopher Charles Mills
Grateful to Musk for providing content for a little puzzle for students to mull over in the interval of today's lecture on The Racial Contract

What those parenting books don't tell you is that making your kids' room nice and dark, perfect ambient temperature etc, won't make them sleepy, but it will work on you

Is cultural appropriation about ownership of cultural styles? Hannah Carnegy-Arbuthnott argues it is, based on the idea that ownership claims support our ability to present ourselves to others on our own terms. Read the paper here! doi.org/10.16995/pp....
Can cultural appropriation claims be grounded in group ownership of cultural styles? I argue they can, in this paper just out in Political Philosophy #Philsky doi.org/10.16995/pp....

paragraph 171 of the judgment of the Supreme Court, which reads: "The definition of sex in the EA 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man. Persons who share that protected characteristic for the purposes of the group-based rights and protections are persons of the same sex and provisions that refer to protection for women necessarily exclude men. Although the word "biological" does not appear in this definition, the ordinary meaning of those plain and unambiguous words corresponds with the biological characteristics that make an individual a man or a woman. These are assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation. Men and women are on the face of the definition only differentiated as a grouping by the biology they share with their group."
