Introducing Dr. Dalitso Ruwe, Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy

Before joining the Philosphy department at the University of Guelph, Dr. Ruwe spent time as a Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Wittenberg University, Ohio. While currently trying to turn his dissertation "Black Narricide & Ontological Sovereignty: The Mischaracterization of American Slavery in Philosophy" into a publishable book, Ruwe is also teaching a 19th Century Black Racial Destiny class in our Winter 2021 term. The course focuses on the way thinkers of the time developed a philosophy of history that argued Africa and its descendants had unique racial gifts that would add to human civilization. With an interest in researching anti-colonialism as a sophmore in high school, Ruwe continued studying American political activism during his undergrad at California State University - Fresno and earning his PhD at Texams A&M University studying under Dr. Tommy Curry.
