2021-22 Postdoctoral Fellows

Jorge Sanchez Perez

Elliott Chen

Jorge Sanchez Perez is a postdoctoral fellow in the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy project at Simon Fraser University. His post-doc research focuses on analyzing and reconstructing early modern metaphysical concepts from Andean philosophy. The primary source for his research is the Huarochirí Manuscript, which is the only known document of the period between the 16th and 17th century containing a detailed account of the worldview of the Quechua people. As part of the project, he will develop tools for bridging the gap between Indigenous and Western philosophical views. Dr. Sanchez Perez received his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 2021 from McMaster University. Previously, he was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on Global Justice with an emphasis on Indigenous and Latin American philosophical views. He also works on legal philosophy with a special interest in the intersection of law and morality.
Elliott D. Chen is a postdoctoral fellow on the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy project at Western University. His postdoctoral research is on Laura Bassi (1711-1778). The project is to translate, reconstruct, and analyze Bassi's work on electricity, with special attention to her use of analogical reasoning in developing theories of novel physical phenomena. Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 2021 from the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine. His primary research interests are in the history of philosophy of science, especially the intersection of physics and metaphysics. He also maintains research interests in contemporary philosophy of physics, particularly the foundations of classical field theories.

2020-21 Postdoctoral Fellows

Dalitso Ruwe

Dalitso Ruwe is a postdoctoral fellow in the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy project 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. Dr. Ruwe received his PhD in Philosophy in 2019 from Texas A&M. Previously, he was a Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Wittenberg University. His research focuses on Africana Political Philosophy with an emphasis on the Intellectual History of Black Racial Sciences, Intellectual History of Black Radical Tradition, Anti-Colonial Theory, and Africana Legal History.

Simona Vucu

Simona Vucu is a postdoctoral fellow in the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy project at McGill University. Her project with Extending New Narratives will focus on how two medieval women writers, Catherine of Siena (1347–1380) and Christine de Pizan (1364–1430), used their own experiences as women actively engaged in public life to understand human socialization, and how this understanding informed their views on female agency and virtue ethics. Dr. Vucu received her PhD in Philosophy in 2018 from the University of Toronto. She was previously a Mellon postdoctoral fellow at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto, where she worked on medieval discussions of the difference between moral and legal reasoning and the ethical consequences of this distinction for how judges should try the cases before them.  Her research is focused mainly on medieval philosophy, especially the intersection of ethics, metaphysics, and legal and political philosophy.
