PhD in Philosophy - Race, Gender, Difference in Atlanta United States | Emory University

Emory's philosophy department explores topics related to race, gender, and their intersections, along with matters of identity and social standing, with special attention to the realities faced by marginalized individuals and communities.

This research draws from multiple theoretical frameworks, such as critical race philosophy, critical race theory, whiteness studies, feminist thought, phenomenological approaches, liberation philosophy, pragmatic perspectives, and postcolonial/decolonial theories.

Ongoing research focuses on African-American philosophical thought, systemic anti-black racism, colonial identities, gender-based oppression and liberation efforts, historical examinations of racial constructs, freedom movements and theories, canonical reinterpretations, and studies of whiteness and white dominance.
