The UCL Faculty of Laws / Bentham House will be holding a conference 23-24 July in London to celebrate the publication of a substantial Bentham manuscript, A Picture of the Treasury, in which he begins to theorize the "sinister interest" that controls and limits government expenditure.

I'm honored to be one of the featured speakers at the conference, and I'm already eagerly looking forward to our conversation! CFP now available here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/events/2025/jul/person-jeremy-bentham-panopticon-penitentiary-scheme-and-picture-treasury

#ThreeGoodThings

1. Had lunch w/a student who is majoring in engineering and English. It was a joy to talk to her. We've agreed to read Ruth #Ozeki's The Book of Form and Emptiness and compare notes.

2. Another incredible student recommended Haruki #Murakami's What I Talk about When I Talk about Running. I have started it and it's inspiring me to continue working on another #memoir that is in its infant phase.

3. Rumeysa #Ozturk has been released.

Anybody know anyone who controls an endowed guest professorship or annual lecture (series)? One that could be manned with a fun and lively Swedish archaeologist? Please put my name forward! I know French and German.
