Biography

Carlos Figueroa has a dual Ph.D. in Political Science and Historical Studies from The New School for Social Research and currently teaches in the Politics Department at Ithaca College. He researches and writes on race, religion, and class politics, the politics of U.S. citizenship, U.S. Quakerism, and U.S. Puerto Rico affairs. Some of his academic/intellectual work has appeared in the Journal of Public Affairs Education, Journal of Race and Policy, Political Science Quarterly, Annales: Ethics in Economic Life, Fair Observer, the University of Virginia Press, and the University Press of Kansas, among others. His first book Quakers, Race, and Empire: Political Ecumenism and U.S. Insular Policy in the Early Twentieth Century (under review, University of Kansas Press), shows how and why progressive era Quakers intervened in U.S. foreign policy debates, in particular, insular policy discourses over the organizing and governance of acquired territories (Puerto Rico and the Philippines), and the struggles for self-determination, and citizenship within the context of an expanding American empire from 1898 to 1917. Figueroa is also working on a second book Bayard Rustin: The Pragmatic Quaker, 1912 - 1987, that examines how and why Rustin's tacit pragmatic Quaker faith informed his political thought, organizing, and activism in the context of dealing with the various social injustices and inequalities facing working & poor people, and other marginalized groups in the U.S. and abroad during his 50-year public life. Figueroa has two forthcoming chapters on what he calls Bayard T. Rustin's pragmatic Quakerism in The Quaker World, C. Wess Daniels and Rhiannon Grant, Editors, 1st edition, (Routledge Press, 2022).
