Prior to this appointment, he was an Associate Editor of the South African Journal of Philosophy and the Secretary of the Philosophical Society of South Africa. His research interests straddle the Western and African philosophical traditions and lie at the points of intersection between metaphysics and practical concerns, including ethical, legal and political questions. He has researched and published in both local and international journals on questions related to selfhood, personal identity, justice and human rights. He is co-author of Jurisprudence in an African Context (Oxford University Press 2017 and 2024––2nd edition, forthcoming). His most recent book, Menkiti’s Moral Man (Lexington Books, Rowman & Littlefield 2022), contributes to the scholarship of Ifeanyi Menkiti by exploring amongst other things the complex relationships between personhood and place, selfhood and society, as well as identity and interconnections.
