My name is Juan Carlos González. I’m from Miami, Florida. I’m currently a PhD Candidate in Philosophy at the University of California, San Diego, and in the Fall I’ll be joining the Philosophy Department at Colby College as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy.

As a researcher and a teacher, I blend the traditional (Kant, Modern European Philosophy, Continental Philosophy) with the non-traditional (Mexican, Cuban, and Latinx Philosophy). When I’m not writing, reading, or teaching philosophy, I play my bass guitar (pictured below), make movies, and root for my favorite NBA team,
the Miami Heat
.
