Dr. Dalitso Ruwe

Born and raised in Zambia, Dr. Dalitso Ruwe is currently a Post-Doc fellow under the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy at University of Guelph.

His post-doc research will focus on the Black Abolitionists debates on American slavery that emerged from the National Negro Conventions of 1830-1864 and the role the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and migration to Canada afforded Black thinkers like Mary Ann Shadd to develop socio-political and legal critiques of American Slavery. This research is central to the manuscript Dr. Ruwe is currently working on tentatively titled Ontological Sovereignty: The Quest of Black Freedom in the Age of Slavery.

In his downtime, Dr. Ruwe enjoys watching anime, watching plays, playing pool and basketball, and watching movies full of dark humor.
