About Dr Dimpho Takane Maponya

Supervision Areas: Feminisms, Gender and Sexuality, Epistemic Decolonisation and Ethics.

Dimpho is a senior lecturer in the Philosophy Department and a member of the African Centre of Epistemology and Philosophy of Science (ACEPS) at the 欧美福利100000 of Johannesburg (UJ).

Her research interests are broadly in African philosophy, feminism, gender, sexuality, decolonisation, and social epistemology.
She is a decolonial African feminist scholar whose work seeks to analyze and interrogate post-colonial theories and praxis in the context of social transformation by adopting what she refers to as a decolonial feminist pragmatist standpoint. She has taught undergraduate courses in African philosophy, feminisms, ethics, metaphysics and epistemology, as well as supervises, very broadly, in areas such as decolonial and post-colonial theory, African philosophy (broadly construed), gender and feminisms and environmental philosophy.
