About
Warm greetings. My name is George Anthony Pratt. I am an orator and writer, aspiring public intellectual and philosopher, ethnographer, and storyteller. As co-Valedictorian of the 2023 class, I am a summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Morehouse College, having earned a BA and departmental honors in history and religion. I studied abroad with Arcadia during the Spring semester of my junior year at the University of Manchester as the 2021-2022 English-Speaking Union Luard Morse Scholar. Currently, I am pursuing graduate studies in religion and theology at University College, University of Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. As a researcher, my main areas of interest include Africana studies, Black religions in the Americas, Ethics, Gender and Sexuality, Intellectual history, and Postcolonial studies. My contemplative practices and spiritual disciplines consist of reading, singing, dance, poetry and liturgical writing, dream journaling, meditation, and yoga. Fun fact: In my senior year of college, I started my own essay coaching and public speaking consulting firm called GeorgeSpeaks.
