With expertise in comparative Western and African philosophy, Dr Elvis Imafidon teaches World Philosophies at SOAS University of London. His research interest includes applying theories in African ontology and ethics to understanding lived experiences and practical issues in African societies such as corruption, gender, disability, differences, diversity and inclusion, and personhood.
He has published many books in this area, including African Philosophy and the Otherness of Albinism (Routledge 2019) and The Handbook of African Philosophy of Difference (Springer 2020).
This paper seeks to explore the nature and implication of African relational moral theory as captured in the Ubuntu concept for the humanitarian field, in general, and the humanitarian strand of the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), in particular.
