Emmalon Davis

Emmalon Davis specializes in ethics, social and political philosophy, and epistemology, especially where these areas intersect with philosophy of race and feminist philosophy. Her work explores the social processes through which knowledge is collectively developed and disseminated within (and across) communities. Her current research examines themes of methodology, social norms, and audience in the context of abolitionist and early civil rights movements, with a focus on 19th and early 20th century political thinkers such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, Maria W. Stewart, and Ida B. Wells.
