Dr. Alex Stehn is Professor of Philosophy and the Interim Director of the Center for Bilingual Studies, as well as a Faculty Affiliate in Mexican American Studies. His areas of research specialization are American Philosophy and Latin American Philosophy, which he teaches bilingually. His most recent research explores Mexican and Mexican American Philosophy, especially the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, in order to develop a bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate philosophy of education that supports UTRGV's vision of becoming the USA's "premier Hispanic-serving institution, and a highly engaged bilingual university."
Along with his wife Dr. Mariana Alessandri, Dr. Stehn is also the co-founder of RGV PUEDE (Rio Grande Valley Parents United for Excellent Dual Education), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate and organize parents, families, and communities to support, improve, and extend dual language bilingual education programs from Pre-K to 12th across the Rio Grande Valley.
