Alexander V. Stehn

Prof. Alexander V. Stehn teaches philosophy at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, specializing in Latin American/U.S.-Mexican philosophy and decolonial pedagogy. His work centers on Gloria Anzaldúa's contributions and bilingual education models.

He developed 'philosophizing in tongues'—a pedagogical approach using students' multilingual repertoires to teach Latin American philosophy, aligning with UTRGV's mission as a Hispanic-serving institution. Courses like 'American Philosophy as a Way of Life' integrate diverse philosophical traditions.

Publications analyze Mexican philosophical influences on Anzaldúa and advocate for inclusive curricula. Community projects include partnerships with K-12 schools for dual-language education advocacy.
