معرفی
Teófilo Reis is an Assistant Professor in Philosophy and International Studies at Trinity University, specializing in the philosophy of race through Latin American and Africana perspectives. His work examines how race shapes knowledge, identity, and political structures using philosophical frameworks.
His educational background spans dual PhDs and interdisciplinary training:
- Ph.D. Philosophy, CUNY Graduate Center
- Ph.D. Sociology, University of Campinas, Brazil
- M.Phil Philosophy, CUNY Graduate Center
- M.A. Philosophy, University of Campinas, Brazil
- B.A. Philosophy, Centro Universitário Claretiano, Brazil
- B.A. Mathematics, University of Campinas, Brazil
Reis focuses on social epistemology, epistemologies of ignorance, and Brazilian social thinking, with significant contributions including the Portuguese translation of Charles W. Mills' The Racial Contract (2023) and analyses of Lélia Gonzalez's intersectionality theory. His research actively decolonizes philosophical discourse by centering marginalized Latin American and Black thought.
Recent publications reveal consistent thematic focus: the 2023 translation expands accessibility to critical race theory, while 2022 articles on Gonzalez and Mills demonstrate his expertise in bridging philosophical and sociological approaches to race. This cohesive trajectory highlights his role in globalizing racial justice scholarship beyond Eurocentric frameworks.
