Teaching at Princeton
At Princeton University, Glaude primarily teaches two undergraduate level courses, both within the Department of African American Studies. “Topics in African American Studies: The Fire This Time - James Baldwin” is a seminar style course where students closely examine a selection of Baldwin’s non-fiction writings and consider the intellectual’s reflections on race and democracy. Glaude also teaches “African American Studies and the Philosophy of Race,” a lecture style class that serves as an introduction to the discipline of African American studies. Students in the course read classic texts in African American thought and practice that offer insights into (1) the complex experiences, both past and present, of Americans of African descent and (2) the ways in which individuals come to know and experience race in the United States. Beyond teaching under-graduate level courses, Glaude also advises a select number of students majoring in African American Studies on their senior theses.

Intellectual contributions from his published works
Eddie Glaude’s intellectual work accounts for the modern explanations of white supremacy and the formation of Black Power movements, making references to slavery and histories of white dominance. As Glaude argues throughout his bodies of work, anti-Blackness and white supremacy continue to structure American society as a result of the Value Gap, in which white lives are valued more than Black lives, impacting many of the political decisions in the United States. Black identity and Black Power Movements arise in response to and are emphasized because of the increasing expressions of white supremacy. His work also reveals the importance of African American religion, which encompasses a range of religious doctrines, in that it serves as an avenue to respond to oppressive conditions and varying forms of institutional discrimination African Americans face. Importantly, African American religion is intrinsically linked to Black identity, thus highlighting the linkages between politics and religion. The remaining part of this section describes Glaude's top-five selling books in more detail.

and slavery in the United States as two historic examples of where institutionalized racism that continues to affect the present. Alongside these histories, he emphasizes Black power and the need for Black political leaders to recognize African American history. Acknowledging this history will make it easier to work towards a successful future for all African Americans.
Exodus!: religion, race, and nation in early nineteenth-century Black America
This book is Eddie Glaude’s first academic publication. Here, Glaude explains Black religious life played an important role in the development of a Black national identity. References to the Exodus story specifically, aided in the crafting of a national identity that reflected the unique experience of African Americans. Black interpretations of the Exodus story helped frame African Americans as a separate community of people and rather than completely rejecting the United States, African Americans used this story to call for racial solidarity. Glaude also argues Black religion and the workings of political organizations of Black Americans are linked. Scholars praised ''Exodus!'' for expanding information on racial and religious discourses during the antebellum period and for introducing new concepts that can be used to discuss Black religion in public spaces.
Democracy in black: How race still enslaves the American soul
This book is Glaude's first trade book. Here he describes the state of black America that savages the idea of a post-racial society.
Glaude talks about America’s great promise of equality and how it has always “rung hollow” in the ears of African Americans. The situation of equality has become more serious due to the murders of black youth by the police, the dismantling of the

. Glaude claims it is clear that Black America faces an emergency—at the very moment the election of the first Black president has prompted many to believe we’ve solved America’s race problem though African-Americans have lost more than 50 percent of their wealth by 2011. They lost homes, savings, and jobs, with national black unemployment reaching 16 percent in 2010.
In his book, Eddie S. Glaude Jr.’s impassioned response argues that we live in a country founded on a “value gap”—with white lives valued more than others—that still distorts our politics today. Whether discussing why all Americans have racial habits that reinforce inequality, why black politics based on the civil-rights era have reached a dead end, or why only remaking democracy from the ground up can bring real change, Glaude crystallizes the untenable position of Black America–and offers thoughts on a better way forward. Forceful in ideas and unsettling in its candor, ''Democracy In Black''is a landmark book on race in America, one that promises to spark wide discussion as we move toward the end of our first black presidency.
In An Uncommon Faith : A Pragmatic Approach to the Study of African American Religion
Eddie Glaude analyzes the relationship that African Americans have with religion. Glaude focuses on Black religious attitudes and looks at how these attitudes tie the Black community together. He argues that if one wants to understand Black life within America, one must study and pay attention to African American religion. The book is made up of three chapters that explain the role religion has played within African American history. While discussing African American religion, Glaude touches upon Black migration, racial authenticity, and moral community while also examining W.E.B. DuBois thoughts on African American religion. Glaude also focus on Black souls and how they try to navigate and find identity in white society.
African American Religion : A Very Short Introduction
Since the inception of the first fully African American denomination was established in Philadelphia in 1818, churches have played a role in communities as much more than spiritual guidance. These churches have played the role of a home; places where, civic institutions, spaces for education, and sites for the cultivation of individuality and identities in the face of limited or non-existent freedom. In African American Religion : A Very Short Introduction, Eddie Glaude explores and analyzes the history of African American religion throughout the years. Glaude uses three examples:

Conjure may be:

,
African American Christianity, and
African American Islam. Glaude uses the term “African American religion” to exemplify the struggles African Americans have faced since they were enslaved; African Americans have used religion in response to oppressive conditions including slavery,
Jim Crow apartheid, and the pervasive and institutionalized discrimination that exists today. Several of his claims throughout the book lay the framework for his interpretation of the wide diversity of religions among the African American community.
Interviews, Lectures and Media Appearances
2006-2007
Eddie Glaude’s main appearances in 2006 and 2007 were on ''State of the Black Union'' presented by Thomas Smiley.

2008-2010
During this time period Eddie Glaude was on the State of the Black Union with Tavis Smiley, bringing up questions about the right way to diagnose the “storm and chaos” Black people face currently, even with the advancements that have been made socially for them. He also advocates for politics to be fixed from local to the national level in order for Black people to have more of a voice. Glaude comments on African-American religion as well and questions whether we should look at Africa as the central root. He talks about how Black identity is the product of principle for struggle as they are the motivation for that struggle. Finally, Glaude argues who we take ourselves to be and how we understand ourselves as moral agents often guides how we engage in politics and in that same vein, the sorts of choices we make while engaging in politics fundamentally shape who we take ourselves to be.
2011-2013
During 2011-2013, Glaude lectured at the Lutheran Philadelphia Seminary (LTSP) and participated in a panel discussion at the 2013

. In both appearances he talks about African American identity, African American religion, political activism, and the ideal of
American democracy. He also references African American churches and religious discourses as central to giving voice to the political demands of African Americans. In his 2011 lecture at the LTSP, Glaude address the idea that America is an example of democracy achieved. He sees this idea as insidious because it perpetuates the belief that America is incapable of wrong. At the 2013 Harlem Book Fair panel discussion he discusses the current state of the Black church and claims it has become decentralized as the most important institutional space for Black Americans.
