Dr. Eric Bayruns-Garcia, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy

Dr. Garcia specializes in philosophy of race and epistemology. His focus is on epistemological questions raised by race and racial injustice.

He also works on the nature of race concepts and categories and the degree to which, if any, we are disposed to categorize each other using them.

His teaching interests are in Latin American philosophy, philosophy of hip hop, ethics, social-and-political philosophy, philosophy of mind and philosophy of cognitive science.

During this episode Eric talks about his Queens NYC upbringing and the path that led him across the country to CSUSB. He also remembers the exact time and thought that got him interested in the vast world of philosophy.
