Meena Krishnamurthy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Queen’s University. She is a political philosopher who works on race, democracy, and social movements. She is currently writing a book, "The Emotions of Nonviolence," and a series of related papers on Martin Luther King Jr.’s political philosophy. Her work is about King’s views on the role of the political emotions in motivation to end racial injustice. It explores how he used the various tactics of the civil rights movement (protest, images, letters, and oratory) to engage these emotions and to overcome some of the barriers to political action. This project is a follow up to her earlier piece on King, “(White) Tyranny and the Democratic Value of Distrust.”
