About the Stuart Hall Outstanding Mentor Award
Stuart Hall was one of the co-founders of British Cultural Studies. His work as a teacher, scholar, and activist in the Birmingham School of Cultural Studies is legendary. His students’ influence is worldwide. The purpose of this award is to acknowledge activists, artists, scholars, teachers, and theorists who have cultivated influential critical communities addressing the Caribbean Philosophical Association’s concerns of shifting the geography of reason. The Stuart Hall Outstanding Mentor Award began in 2018 with the approval of Professor Catherine Hall.

About the Department
The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies offers two majors, one in philosophy and the other in religious studies. While the two majors complement and enhance each other, they retain separate identities and missions. In both programs, Spelman students learn how to read critically, write cogently, identify and interrogate historical and contemporary discourses, apply discipline-specific research methods, conduct and present their research in their courses, and employ inquiry-based learning to take ultimate responsibility for their academic potential.
