We welcome Alexus McLeod to our teaching faculty this fall. His main areas of research are early Chinese Philosophy, Mesoamerican Philosophy, and Global and Comparative Thought more broadly. Much of his recent work focuses on varying application of global philosophical methodologies and the study of systems of global synthesis in early China, Mesoamerica, India, Persia, and West Africa, among others. This fall he will be teaching courses on Religion, Ethics, and Public Life and Buddhist Philosophy in India.
