His work weaves together insights from Black studies, pragmatism, cultural and literary studies, and the history of philosophy and theology. Professor Granby is the author of The Racial Politics of Listening: Deference, Power, and Relationality (Oxford University Press, 2026). He is completing two book projects: Truth in Love: The Ethics of Social Criticism and The Wisdom of Martin Luther King Jr: On Loving and Living Well.
