Alfredo Watkins

​

Hello! I'm Alfredo.

​

I am an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Duke University and the Executive Director of the Transformative Ideas program at Duke. I received my PhD in philosophy from UNC Chapel Hill. I did my undergraduate work at UCLA. My main areas of research are in political philosophy, ancient philosophy, and philosophy of science (especially philosophy of mathematics).

​

My work on political theory focuses on questions of justice, power, and empire, with particular focus on applications to international relations. In the realm of philosophy of science I am especially interested in neo-Aristotelian metaphysics and its applications to contemporary science and mathematics.
