About Me
- Russell Blackford
- I am an Australian philosopher, literary critic, and professional writer. My new book, from Wiley-Blackwell, is FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE SECULAR STATE. I'm editor-in-chief of The Journal of Evolution and Technology, an on-line, peer-reviewed journal. I am a Conjoint Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Newcastle, NSW. 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").

Really enjoyed the talk Russell. Found it to be qquite a solid oral description of the evolution (if you will) of secularism.
I especially enjoyed the questions and the focus on Australian issues, I feel (I suppose similarly to some of the questioners) there is a distinct lack of openly atheistic and actively secular voices in the media and political spheres of Australia.
His topic maybe interesting, but he is such a boring speaker.
And I must add he is a boring blog writer as well. And to think he claims to be a writer.
He should get some tips from the scientists bloggers in the U.S.
"Every time you make a PowerPoint, Edward Tufte kills a kitten."
Alway nice to hear from the "anonymous" cowards.
and it wasn't even me Russell - now I know how to put my name to my own drivel.
True, I think voice modulation could be better, but that your voice, so changing it would be just, just, well wrong. I think
