Overthink is hosted by Ellie Anderson and David Peña-Guzmán, philosophy professors and longtime friends.
They’ve got expertise, and they’re willing to share it.
Ellie and David chat with philosopher Lewis Gordon about his book, Fear of Black Consciousness. They talk through the history of anti-Black racism, the existential concept of bad faith, why Rachel Dolezal might have Black consciousness. From the American Blues to the Caribbean movement of Negritude, this episode is full of insight into Black liberation and White centeredness.
