The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies is committed to a view of the liberal arts as a path towards liberation. Through our teaching, research, and service to the community, we help (a) articulate a vision for a better world and (b) provide the reflective skills necessary to achieve that world. As a department situated at an HBCU, this includes explicitly -and especially- a commitment to racial justice and the liberation of Black people everywhere. Our commitment and values are aligned with the University’s strategic plan and core values that reflect a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and innovation.
