2026-2027 Executive Committee

Director

Eddy M. Souffrant teaches and writes in the areas of Ethics and Applied Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Africana, and Caribbean Philosophy. His work reflects his interest in the areas of Ethics and International Affairs, African American, Francophone and Caribbean Philosophy, Liberalism, and the limits of Liberal Democracy. His recent focus includes Global Development Ethics, Collective responsibility, and Conceptions of Social and Political Identities. His current research projects explore Créolization, Francophone Philosophy, Africana Philosophy and the Challenges of Inclusion and they will result in a manuscript that explores the intersection of Africana Philosophy, migration, and the impacts of Colonial Legacy on the latter’s progenies. As Chair of the Africana Studies Department, he aims to highlight student success and promote the visibility and inclusion of the voices of the marginalized in the discipline and practice of Philosophy. When not taken by these issues, he enjoys music, a museum/gallery walk and time with family and friends over a meal seasoned with good cheers.
