Africologist • Philosopher • Educator • Scholar-Activist
Anthony S. Dandridge
Thinking deeply. Teaching critically. Building community.
I am an Africologist, philosopher, educator, and scholar-activist whose work brings African-centered thought into conversation with philosophy, education, spirituality, social justice, and community transformation. Across exactly 25 years of continuous higher education teaching experience, I have worked to make the classroom a place where knowledge becomes a practice of freedom.
Scholarship • Teaching • Praxis
Knowledge as a practice of freedom.
My work centers Africology, African philosophical foundations, Afrocentric worldview, critical pedagogy, contemplative practice, and the relationship between knowledge and liberation. I approach scholarship not simply as something we study, but as something we live.
Africology & Philosophy
African philosophical foundations for Africology, Afrocentric worldview, epistemology, ontology, and paradigm-building.
Education & Critical Thought
Teaching students to question inherited assumptions, think critically, locate themselves within knowledge, and imagine new possibilities.
Community & Transformation
Connecting intellectual work to civic engagement, healing, environmental justice, restorative practice, and community empowerment.
“I don’t need to know you to love you.”
This site is a home for my scholarship, teaching, public thought, projects, and ongoing conversations about how we know, how we live, and how we build more liberatory communities.
