In good company ...

About Me
- Russell Blackford
- I am an Australian writer, philosopher, and critic. I'm editor-in-chief of The Journal of Evolution and Technology, an on-line, peer-reviewed journal. As a creative writer, I specialise in science fiction and fantasy. My non-fiction work frequently deals with issues involving the human, or posthuman, future. I am interested in the ethics, and possible regulation, of emerging technologies, and the future of religion, morality, art, literature, political organisation, and human nature itself. Some of my articles are available on my web site. My formal qualifications include First Class Honours degrees in Arts and Law, and separate Ph.Ds in English literature and philosophy. The latter may seem extravagant, but I have my reasons! Feel free to follow me on Twitter (tweeting as "Metamagician").

Wow, you're in the big league now Dr. Dr! (By the way, they only put one PhD post nominal, better get them to fix that.) Well done.
So, when are you going to organize a conference here in Melbourne with a similar list of speakers?
Someone is already organising it, Brian. There's a big conference coming up in March. Stay tuned for announcements.
This?

Yeah, that's the one.
Los Angeles - it's always Los Angeles. Why can't they stage these things in Seattle? (Because it's a smaller city. I know, I know.) I wanna go!
grumble grumble
When you are in LA, I would like to have you as a guest on the new and upcoming Minnesota Atheists "Atheist Talk" podcast (which is replacing the successful on-air show.)
Contact me if you are interested.
Wow...what a lineup. Wish I'd been invited...I may have to think about going stag.
It's a little weird that an anti-vaxer like Maher is getting the Dawkins award, but I plan to be there and look forward to meeting you in person.
