Yarran D. Hominh

Yarran Hominh is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Leslie Center for the Humanities and Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy. His research sits at the intersection of moral psychology and social and political philosophy, drawing on the global pragmatist tradition in John Dewey, W.E.B. Du Bois, and B.R. Ambedkar, among others. He examines how modern social and political institutions shape human agency, and how human agency can in turn be used to change those institutions. He has other research interests in philosophy of law, ethics, colonialism, early modern philosophy, and the philosophy of the social sciences.
