I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. Prior to that, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Sarah Lawrence College.
I completed my PhD in the Department of Philosophy at Northwestern University in 2022.
My research lies at the intersection of Africana Philosophy, Epistemic Justice, Phenomenology, and Decolonial Theory. I draw on the Africana phenomenological tradition in order to challenge methodological Eurocentrism and think about novel ways to conceive universality. Some of the figures I work on include Paulin J. Hountondji, Edmund Husserl, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Jacques Derrida and Gayatri Spivak.
I discuss some of my thoughts about Hountondji in an interview for Borderlines with Zeyad el Nabolsy.
In my free time, I like to read novels and poetry, go for (short) walks in nature, and rearrange my furniture.
