Hi, I’m Alex Madva.

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Cal Poly Pomona, Director of the California Center for Ethics & Policy, and Co-Director of the Digital Humanities Consortium. After receiving my PhD in Philosophy from Columbia University in October 2012, I was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at UC-Berkeley (2012-14) and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Vassar College (2014-15). My work centers on the intersections between the cognitive and social sciences and topics in philosophy of race and feminism, applied ethics (especially prejudice and discrimination), social and political philosophy, and phenomenology.
