Theory & Philosophy

Welcome! My name's David Guignion and I produce content on theory and philosophy to help us fight against the many oppressive forces in our world.

I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in Occidental College's Critical Theory and Social Justice department, and I hold a PhD from Western University's Media Studies department.

This channel is dedicated to the distribution of idea so that they be made accessible to anyone. Some key theoretical domains that this channel explores, but that is not limited to, include Feminism, Gender and Queer theory, Post-Structuralism, Structuralism, Psychoanalysis, Marxism, Rhetoric, Epistemology, Ontology, and Phenomenology.

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.

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.

If anyone outside of Lebanon wants to help, consider donating here:

Please comment with specific gofundme pages if you know people in monetary need.

Hi everyone!! I have finally completed migrating my podcast episodes from Google Podcasts to YouTube Music. Be sure to go check out the entire catalogue of episodes I've put together over the last six years :)

Also, I'll be reducing my output for the next little while to one regular video every two weeks instead of every week. Work, writing, and other obligations are calling and I need to prioritize them. Don't worry, though -- I'll still be creeping into your feeds with video episodes sporadically to keep you on your toes ;)

Much love,

d

Guess what? It's your favorite Gemini's birthday today! If you're feeling generous, please consider donating to one of the organizations below to help Palestinians. If you're only able to donate a couple of dollars, then please donate a couple of dollars. If you don't have the means to donate monetarily, then consider tuning in to a Palestinian organization in your community to stay up-to-date on protests, calls to action, and boycott lists. Free Palestine.
