Anthony S. Dandridge<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Thinking deeply. Teaching critically. Building community.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarship \u2022 Teaching \u2022 Praxis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge as a practice of freedom.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
