Kevin A Richardson is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Duke University, affiliated with Trinity College of Arts & Sciences and the Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies department. His research focuses on social metaphysics, examining the indeterminacy and scalar nature of social categories like race, gender, and sexual orientation. He critiques structural violence through frameworks like necropolitics, emphasizing how marginalized groups face exclusionary systems.
Education: PhD in Philosophy from MIT (2017), BA in Philosophy from UNC Chapel Hill (2012). Current research explores how social categories operate in fragmented modern contexts, with a forthcoming book *The End of Binaries: How Gender and Sexuality Come in Degrees* (Oxford UP). Recent publications address indeterminacy theory, conceptual engineering, and social reasons in oppressive structures.
His work bridges metaphysics and social justice, analyzing interstitial injustice and the invisibility of non-hegemonic categories. He advocates for epistemic recognition of self-identified social categories, arguing against reductionist definitions that erase non-binary or multiracial identities.
