I am currently a Professor and Head of Philosophy, as well as an affiliate with the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory, and African American Studiesat the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I earned my PhD in Philosophy at Rutgers University (2011).
I write and teach about hate speech, racial humor, Black aesthetics, resistance, slurs, and hermeneutical injustice. I am currently writing books on the Ethics of Racial Humor (OUP) and The Philosophy of Race and Racism (Routledge).
