About: I'm a graduate student in the Philosophy Department at Rutgers University. My main interests lie in the areas of the philosophy of language, social and political philosophy and the philosophy of race. I am currently involved in research about racial and ethnic slurs, racist humor and offensive pictures. During the summer I participate in The Summer Institute for Diversity in Philosophy. I have also been teaching for the W.E.B. Dubois Scholars Institute for the past couple of summers.
