Temitope A. Noah
Visiting Assistant Professor of Africana
About
My research spans Black studies, political theology, and European intellectual history, with a dual focus on Black Europe鈥攅specially Germany鈥攁nd Black America within the broader African diaspora. I engage German intellectual traditions, including Nietzsche, Marx, and East German political culture, alongside critical frameworks from Black political thought to reimagine continental philosophy. In parallel, I explore how race, disability, and neurodivergence shape embodiment, history, and faith, drawing on critical disability studies and theology. My work emphasizes transnational approaches to race, power, faith, and resistance.
