PhD in Philosophy in Atlanta United States | Emory University

The Philosophy Ph.D. program prepares tomorrow's educators, researchers, public intellectuals, and advocates who engage with contemporary issues using frameworks rooted in comprehensive knowledge of philosophical traditions and history. Our program embraces varied philosophical methodologies, spanning continental thought, feminist theory, literary analysis, multicultural perspectives, and pragmatic approaches.

Our core and associated faculty collaborate with numerous Emory departments and initiatives, such as African American Studies, the Center for Mind, Brain, and Culture, Comparative Literature, Religion, Disability Studies, Global and Postcolonial Studies, the James Weldon Johnson Institute for Race and Difference Studies, the Psychoanalytic Studies Program, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Several of these departments provide certificate options. The Public Humanities initiative includes an internship program for students pursuing careers both within and outside academic settings.
