Anne Quaranto

Anne is a Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at Yale University. She received her PhD in philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin in 2024. Her work on the social & political dimensions of language focuses on the often paradoxical ways that speech practices can be a tool of both oppression and resistance. She has published papers on dog whistles, coded speech, and propaganda. At Yale, she is turning her attention to agency, and considering how to (re)conceptualize our capacities for acting freely, creatively, and responsibly, in order to capture the ways that our communities’ practices constrain yet also empower us.
