Lori Gallegos is Associate Professor of philosophy at Texas State University and the editor of APA Studies on Hispanic/Latino Issues in Philosophy. She works in the areas of Latinx philosophy and the philosophy of emotions. In her research on emotion, she utilizes methods and theories in philosophy, combined with research findings in psychology, to better understand the ways in which human experience is shaped by the societies that are the source of our emotion concepts and norms. This work often focuses on the experiences of people in Latin American immigrant communities in the U.S. Her publications have appeared in edited volumes and in journals including Hypatia, Philosophical Topics, Journal of Intercultural Studies, Critical Philosophy of Race, Topoi, and the Inter-American Journal of Philosophy. She is also co-editor, with Manuel Vargas and Francisco Gallegos, of The Latinx Philosophy Reader (Routledge, 2025).
