Alejandro Vesga

I’m an assistant professor at the University of Houston’s philosophy department.

My main interests lie in the intersections between philosophy of language, epistemology, social philosophy, and cognitive science. I also work in Latin American Philosophy – particularly in the Theology and Philosophy of Liberation.

I went to Los Andes University (Bogotá, Colombia) for my BA and MA in philosophy. I did my PhD at the Sage School of Philosophy, at Cornell University. Then, I was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton’s University Center for Human Values, working in Tania Lombrozo’s lab.

I have written some journalism and public philosophy on ideology, gender, propaganda, and the politics of science. For now, this has been in Spanish.
