Dr. Wilberforce O. Mundia is an Associate Professor of religion and philosophy in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Shaw University. Since 1996, he has taught courses on philosophy of religion, world religions,
contemporary religious thought, moral philosophy (ETH 100: Foundations of Knowledge & Ethics;
ETH 200: Ethical Concepts & Issues; and ETH 300: Professional Ethics). Before coming to Shaw University,
Dr. Mundia worked with FOOD FOR THE POOR, INC., an International Interdenominational Agency that seeks to
alleviate the plight of the poor in Third World Countries—especially in the Caribbean Islands. Dr. Mundia received
the WHO'S WHO AMONG AMERICA'S TEACHERS award two years in a row (2003-2004, 2004-2005). His research
interests focus on the nature, sources, and suggested solutions to problems of human and animal suffering.

This research interest has led him to actively participate in research programs at Shaw University which deal with
problems of healthcare disparities in the USA. He recently served as a Co-Investigator on two projects sponsored
by The Agency for Healthcare Quality Research and housed in the Institute for Health, Social, and Community
Research at Shaw University. A manuscript from one of these studies, “Comparing United States vs. International
Medical School Graduate Physicians Who Serve African American and White Elderly,” was recently published
(January 26, 2007) in the journal, Health Services Research. Another manuscript based on the impact of
workforce transitions on the disruption of longitudinal physician-patient relationships was recently submitted to
the journal Medical Care Research and Review, and is expected to be published soon.

Dr. Mundia received his doctorate from Boston University in Philosophy of Religion and Moral Philosophy in 1995.
In addition to publishing a definitive essay in The International Journal of Philosophy of Religion
(December, 2002), he has presented many papers at professional conferences on problems of evil, terrorism,
and suggested solutions. He also participates in many church activities (and has served as a Resource Person to Episcopal Churches in the Diocese of North Carolina) and is often called upon to conduct retreats and special
educational programs. Dr. Mundia serves on many university committees— including University Marshall, The
Faculty Senate, the Academic Standards Committee, the Library Committee, and the Self-Study Steering
Committee.
