Abstract

This article briefly analyzes the implications of Lewis Gordon’s work on race, racism and disciplinarity in our field of inquiry, peace studies. The centrality of human beings and freedom in Gordon's philosophy, and his metadisciplinary reflections help us to rethink our experience as doctoral students in the discipline where questions of race, racism and colonialism are undertheorized. We contend that an interdisciplinary approach that leaves disciplines unquestioned is insufficient to address problems of racism.

Keywords: Lewis Gordon; race; racism; peace studies; disciplinary decadence.
