Introducing...Dr. Paradise Stanford🌟🎓 Congratulations on this milestone in your life. We are more than pleased to call you a colleague in philosophy!

"Paradise Stanford has defended her dissertation entitled "Beyond the Veil: Critical Black Kantianism and the Ethics of Structural (In)Visibility”. Paradise defends the thesis that Kant, Freud, Du Bois, Ellison, Anna Julia Cooper, and contemporary Black feminist theorists can help us understand the situated nature of the Black (female) subject diagnosed in the writings of Critical Race Theory and intersectionality theory. The discussion was lively and, as any defense should, offered further insight into this important topic." - from Dr. Bird-Pollan

Congratulations, Dr. Paradise Stanford!
