About
Dr. Trujillo is an award-winning professor and writer. He wonders what it means to live a good life and be a good person. To investigate this, he applies ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary problems. He tries to get historical figures to weigh in on today’s issues. He tries his best to read promiscuously across disciplines and write clearly, all while balancing rigor and engagement. But he'll let you be the judge. He recommends checking out "The Friends of Sisyphus: Or, the Meanings Relationships Give Us," "Possessed: The Cynics on Wealth and Pleasure," or his new book The Virtue of Playfulness: Why Happy People Are Playful.
Dr. Trujillo has worked to diversify the philosophy curriculum and to connect underserved students with organizations that help them to complete their college degrees. Dr. Trujillo is originally from rural Texas and is the first in his immediate family to graduate from college. He is excited to work with UofL students, faculty, and staff to build an intellectual community.
