In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Miron Clay-Gilmore — philosopher, researcher, and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto — for a deep exploration into Africana philosophy, race, and the politics of knowledge.
Dr. Clay-Gilmore, the first Black philosopher to earn a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, unpacks how Western philosophy has historically excluded African and diasporic thought, and how a new wave of thinkers is working to reclaim intellectual autonomy through what he calls the “Edinburgh School of Black Thought.”
Clay-Gilmore also examines the colonial roots of modern philosophy, the racialized structures embedded in knowledge systems, and how Africana philosophy challenges the Enlightenment’s conception of “the human.” He discusses how surveillance, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies continue to reproduce imperial power — and what it means to resist through independent Black institutions, media, and cultural nationalism.
From the works of W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Malcolm X to modern thinkers like Tommy Curry and Norman Ajari, this conversation reimagines what philosophy can be when it centers African and diasporic experience.
If you’re interested in decolonizing thought, exploring Black intellectual history, or understanding how power operates through technology and ideas, this episode offers a rare, unflinching perspective on what it means to think — and live — freely.
