Bio

Dr. Davis is passionate about the role that philosophy and education can have in both social justice movements and in the personal fulfillment of individuals.

Her dissertation was titled "On the Possibility of Philosophy in Schools: Rancière and Community of Philosophical Inquiry." She serves as committee member for the American Association of Philosophy Teachers, the Philosophy of Education Society, and the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics.
