I had a great time in conversation with Judith Butler and Cornel West this week. They were here at Emory for my "Candid Conversations with George Yancy" speaker series.
Here is a recent interview where I'm being interviewed by philosopher H. A. Nethery on the recent white supremacist killings of three Black people in Jacksonville, Florida. https://t.co/gxtSbDWk60
Here is a daring (not morbid) conversation about death. I am being interviewed by none other than Tavis Smiley on his podcast show.

Here is my very different take on the horrific murders in Buffalo. My take refuses to make this into a narrow case of white supremacist hated. The core problem is far more common. Peace as we all mourn together. https://t.co/IpWBf0TUaZ
Here is a portrait mural of me done by an "Unknown Artist" on a wall in Denver, Colorado, which says on it, "I Am George Yancy." I had no knowledge that this existed until recently. I was humbled and in a state of disbelief. Photo cred to Peter Kowalchuk (IG @peterkowalchuk1228)

Thrilled by the editing work of Kimberley Ducey, @JoeFeagin, and Clevis Headley on the forthcoming book "George Yancy: A Critical Introduction," foreword by @judithbutIer
Having an edited book of critical essays on one's work as a Black philosopher is rare. I am honored.
