|
| The Society for the Study of Africana Philosophy ("SSAP"), based in New York City, has been a forum for the discussion of philosophical ideas for over thirty years. SSAP was established to provide a network of support for young African American philosophers and other intellectuals in the academy, to bring together alternative voices to de-center the predominant 'Eurocentric' focus of and lack of diversity in most academic philosophy departments, and to provide a place for lay intellectuals to exchange ideas with professional academics in an informal setting.
