Dr. OSIMIRI, Peter

Dr Peter Osimiri is a Philosopher cum political theorist who is passionate about applying abstract philosophical ideas to practical human problems. He holds a doctorate from the University of Ibadan (Nigeria) as well as a certificate in Applied Ethics from the central European University (Hungary). With a broad background in Philosophy/Politics and an abiding interest in issues of justice and human development his research equally covers a wide range of areas including ethics, political philosophy, bioethics and environmental philosophy. Dr. Osimiri’s work in the last five years exhibit a strong emancipatory motif, systematically converging around two major themes: a sustained critique of the unequal and unjust relations between the global North and global South and a continuous reflection on the preconditions for harmonious coexistence in deeply divided societies. On a regular basis, he present papers at academic conferences around the world and has published extensively in national and international journals. Dr. Osimiri is currently working with the Distinguished Prof. Jim I. Unah and a network of scholars across Nigerian universities to develop the curriculum and content for ethics and character training in pre-tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
