Theory & Philosophy

Welcome! My name's David Guignion and I distill complicated philosophical and theoretical ideas for wide audiences. While ideas are important to help us understand the world, it is even more important to put ideas into action. Some of this channel's key theoretical and pragmatic influences include, but are not limited to, Marxism, Decolonialization, Feminism, Gender and Queer theory, and Critical Race Theory.

This channel's content is recorded on the in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal, the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka, comprised of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Huron/Wendat, Abenaki, and Anishinaabeg.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be appearing on Jesse Damiani's ‪@UrgentFutures‬ YouTube channel next week. It'll be the first time in a long time I've been interviewed, so it'll give you another side of me :) . I'll share it here when it's live, but you should go and check out his stuff in the meantime! He features experts across many disciplines to discuss some of the most pressing issues the world is confronting today.

Hi everyone! As you may know, my philosophy regarding monetary contributions disallows me from offering any exclusive content for patrons, paypal contributors, or YouTube memberships. I will never put any of these ideas behind a paywall. However, I have now started giving YouTube members early access to episodes that I manage to upload before the regularly scheduled time. Just thought I'd let you know in case some of you notice that some episodes are for 'members only.'

With love,

To everyone from Lebanon reading this now: I hope that you and your family are safe. I cannot imagine what you're going through right now and I hope that you remain safe from the Israeli apartheid regime's violence.
