Jasper St. Bernard joins as the Visiting Assistant Professor of History. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Memphis in 2024. His research interests center on African American philosophy of the late 19th - early 20th century, more broadly. He focuses more specifically on Ida B. Wells-Barnett’s campaign against racialized violence, and the cross-section between philosophy, history, and literature where Wells’s writings dwell. While at Memphis he taught classes centered on ethics, and at Rhodes taught classes on the gothic and monsters as a part of the SEARCH program.
