      Christine Hobden wrote her contribution to this volume while lecturing philosophy at the University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. She has since moved inland to Wits School of Governance in Johannesburg where she lectures in ethics and public governance. Unsure if this Earth is really Earth-616 or Earth-1610, she hasn’t written on the Marvel Universe too often, but hopes to do so more often in the future after the excellent experience of engaging with Black Panther and its relationship to African philosophy (and because the editors of this volume were really cool).

Thanayi M. Jackson is an American historian and lifelong student of punx, drunx, freaks, and geeks, revolutionary jocks and hippies, hip hop intellectuals, and heavy metal queens. Born and raised in San José, California, she spent most of her days trying to escape capitalism as a disciple of Rock before a Griot banished her to the discipline of History where a great odyssey through the University of Maryland transformed her into a semi-mild-mannered professor. Jackson has held positions at San José State University, Berea College, and is currently Assistant Professor of History at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. A fangirl of the Reconstruction period, her work examines transitions from slavery to freedom and all things Black Power. Jackson abides by a punk rock pedagogy whereby anything can be learned, everything can be deconstructed, and nothing can be lost.

      If Greg Littmann had a Black Panther suit, he wouldn’t do any more administrative work and nobody would be able to make him. He’d still be an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, whether they wanted him to be or not, but anytime someone tried to get him to do some administration, he’d just jump right over them and keep walking. He’d still teach subjects including metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy through popular literature and film, but he’d return the graded exams any time he damn well liked. He’d still publish in a wide variety of areas, including philosophy of logic, evolutionary epistemology, and the philosophy of professional philosophy. He’d also still write chapters for books like this that relate philosophy to popular culture, like the ones he’s written for volumes on The Big Bang Theory, Black Mirror, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, The Good Place, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and numerous others. But there would be no word limits. Not when Greg has panther claws.

Edwardo Pérez was raised by the Puma deity on an alternate Earth (where the Mayans ruled the entire planet) to be Jaguar Paw, the Mayan equivalent of Wakanda’s Black Panther. But after The Blip, Edwardo appeared on Earth-616 disguised as an unassuming (though smartly dressed) Professor of English and prolific writer, contributing essays and blogs to the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series. Stripped of his Jaguar power, but endowed with rhetorical prowess, Edwardo instructs students in the ancient art of persuasion and the modern ways of critical theory at Tarrant County College Northeast. But, on the off chance that Doctor Strange is able to transport Edwardo back to his home world (where he could regain his Jaguar Paw powers), Edwardo keeps his claws sharpened, ready to aid anyone in the multiverse who needs help.
