The winner of this year’s Diversity in Philosophy Video Competition is Raphaelle Dupont, with a video on Frantz Fanon’s philosophy.
Raphaelle is a fourth year Physics and Philosophy student. Sophia Chan (first year student, PPE) was named runner up, with a video on Mohism.
The competition, which was open to all philosophy students, invited students to produce a short video about a philosopher who is a member of a group that is underrepresented in philosophy. The goals of the competition were to help increase the visibility of a more diverse group of philosophers, both within and beyond the department; to engage students with ongoing work on decolonising and diversifying Philosophy at King’s; and to develop transferable communication and digital skills.
