Chris Keegan

I'm currently on leave from my department. This year I am teaching immigrant high school students outside of New York. I was the Chair of the Philosophy Department at SUNY Oneonta for a couple of years, yet those duties are now the focus of others. I teach cross-listed courses with Africana and Latino Studies, with which I share an appointment. My research has focused on the application of philosophical psychology to "urban" problems and issues of race, class, and gender. While I apply common discourses of critique to these issues and problems, my main focus is to marry work in philosophical psychology with critical analysis to produce new openings for understanding. Much of this is included in Urban American Philosophy: An Introduction (Cognella, 2015). Additionally, I have worked for several years building courses on the philosophy of protest, contemporary black thought, Latin American political thinking, and issues of citizenship and identity.
