Author Meets Critic: Jon Ivan Gill's Toward Afrodiasporic and Afrofuturist Philosophies of Religion

Dr. Jon Ivan Gill has put together a text engaging with a true nuanced area of Hip Hop, culture, and religion. Based on the categories of mainstream philosophy of religion, we must ask the question if said categories are adequate to describe the conceptual frameworks of traditions not philosophically dependent on Western theistic understandings, such as religious traditions and philosophies of life emerging from the continent of Africa and appearing in the United States, the Caribbean, North, Central, and South America, and Europe. This session will have respondents engage the work of Dr. Gill and his latest text.
