Anna Stubblefield is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Rutgers University-Newark. She is affiliated with the American Studies doctoral program, the Urban Systems doctoral program, the Department of African and African-American Studies, and the Women’s Studies program. Her research has focused on Africana philosophy and ethical issues relating to race (Ethics along the Color Line, Cornell University Press, 2005), but she has returned to her roots in recent years to work on the concept of intellect as a social construction that is entangled with race, class, and gender in the United States and to ethical issues in the provision of support services to people labeled with developmental and cognitive disabilities. She currently serves as the Faculty Adviser to the Disability Services Office at Rutgers-Newark and as an ethics consultant to agencies that provide residential, educational, and occupational support services to people labeled with cognitive disabilities. Dr. Stubblefield is a Facilitated Communication Trainer, providing motor planning support for communication and literacy for adults and children.
