Earning his BA at City University of New York in 1970, Professor Henry pursued graduate studies at Cornell University, where he completed his MA in 1973 and PhD in 1976. His early work involved research on the political atmosphere in Antigua and Jamaica, and then extended to research in Guyana, Trinidad, and Ghana.&nbsp; Throughout his career, he has specialised in Caribbean Political Economy, the Sociology of Art and Literature, Africana Philosophy and Religion, Race and Ethnic Relations, Poststructuralism, and Critical Theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Paget Henry has influenced the Caribbean race and cultural discourse throughout the ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An author of several influential books including, <em>Caliban\u2019s Reason: Introducing Afro-Caribbean Philosophy<\/em> (2000), <em>Peripheral Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Antigua<\/em> (1985), and co- editor of C.L.R. James\u2019 <em>Caribbean<\/em> (edited with Paul Buhle-1992), his work weaves together philosophy, literature, politics and sociology within the Afro-Caribbean tradition and identity; expanding the global understanding of the Caribbean intellectual identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Brown University, where he has taught since 1987, Professor Henry has been a mentor and guide to countless students. He has taught courses in Political Sociology, Critical Theory, Comparative Colonial Cultures, and the Socio-economic Analysis of Development, inspiring students to engage critically with issues of identity, power, and liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond his individual scholarship, Professor Henry has played a key role in institution-building within Caribbean philosophy. He has been recognised by The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education as being in the top thirty of most quoted black scholars in the humanities in 2003 and was awarded the Franz Fanon Award of the Caribbean Philosophical Association in 2003 for <em>Caliban\u2019s Reason<\/em>, for the best book in the field of Africana thought within the previous five years. He has also received the Annual Award for Excellence in Teaching (Department of Sociology, SUNY, Stony Brook) from 1976 to 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Henry\u2019s career reflects a lifelong dedication to advancing Caribbean philosophy, building intellectual institutions, and mentoring future scholars. His work has ensured that the voices of the African diaspora remain central in the global conversation on philosophy, literature, and Society.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-816651768\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrating Caribbean Excellence UWI to Honour 11 Visionaries at 2025 Graduation Ceremonies The University of the West Indies (The UWI) is set to continue its tradition of recognising exceptional individuals who have made significant contributions to their fields.
