About
Dalitso Ruwe’s research interests centre around Intellectual History of Africana Philosophy, Anticolonial theory, Africana Legal History, Black Male Studies, and Black Philosophies of Education. Currently, he is working on a manuscript titled Horrors of the Flesh: Black Misandric Violence and the Dehumanizing Logics of Western Sciences that traces how scientific caricatures from the 17th to 21st centuries have conscripted Black males as violent beings that scientists have advanced violent and non-lethal measures to deal with the believed violent nature of Black males as a preemptive measure to protect society and preserve democracy from the supposed threat that Black males pose to western societies.
