Hello!
a bit about me:
I am a PhD student in the University of Pennsylvania's Philosophy Department.
As an up and coming interdisciplinary scholar in philosophy , I find philosophy and indeed academia as a whole cannot survive in the contemporary if we cannot be bolder. Bold enough to traverse fields, and sensible enough to make sure the ideas we are producing, even if abstract, are not purposefully convoluted. I currently do work centered around identity, colonialism, trauma (how it affects agency), and narrativity.
My broad interests are anti-colonial theory, social epistemology, philosophy of mind (with a keen interest on collective mind), and memory.
Between these interests, I also look at Latin American Philosophy, Indigenous Philosophy, and Critical Black Studies.
