Dalia Muller

Dr. Dalia Antonia Caraballo Muller’s academic work is motivated by her twin (and intertwined) passions: Afro-Latin American/Latinx intellectual history and educational program development for social and planetary justice. The through line that connects her historical work and her work in educational program building is the concept of “impossibility.” She is currently researching African and Afro-descended intellectuals in early 20th century Cuba who thought at the limits of the possible as they staked claims to rights, dignity and equality in a world that denied their full humanity. In her teaching and program building, Dr. Caraballo Muller invites her students to stretch their minds and think at the limits of the possible by engaging in freedom dreaming practices inspired by our ancestors of the African diaspora as they conjure new futures for our ailing world and planet.
