Troy Richardson (Saponi, Ska:rù:rę'/Tuscarora)
As an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Education and American Indian and Indigenous Studies, Troy's current research and teaching take up the Philosophies of Colonialism, with specific attention to the variety of ways the discipline of philosophy has and continues to work toward the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous peoples. Through this work, Troy continues to be attentive to the challenges and possibilities for relational ethics between Indigenous, settler and arrivant peoples in education and research.
