Dr. Alex Stehn researches and teaches the history of philosophy across the Americas and Europe, with a focus on the intersections between Ethics, Social & Political Philosophy, and Philosophy of Religion. He has also published numerous articles on teaching and is the recipient of the University of Texas Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award. His most recent research explores Mexican and Mexican American Philosophy, especially the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, in order to develop a bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate philosophy of education to flesh out UTRGV's vision of becoming the USA's "premier Hispanic-serving institution, and a highly engaged bilingual university."
Beyond the philosophy department, Dr. Stehn serves the Associate Director of UTRGV's Center for Bilingual Studies, a Faculty Affiliate in Mexican American Studies, and the co-founder of RGV PUEDE, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate and organize parents, families, and communities to support, improve, and extend dual language bilingual education programs from Pre-K to 12th across the Rio Grande Valley.
