For four decades Kọ́lá Abímbọ́lá has worked at the intersection of jurisprudence, philosophy of science, and the Òrìṣà tradition — transversing philosophy, law, the classroom, and the consecrated grove.
His scholarship spans evidence and proof, Africana philosophy, and the epistemology of Ifá divination. He holds three ordinations: Ajagunnà of Ògún Àgbáyé by the Ọọ̀ni of Ifẹ̀; Babaláwo by the Ògeese conclave under the Aláàfin of Ọ̀yọ́; and Òṣùmàrè by the Òṣùmàrè Conclave of Toligbé, Ouidah. He holds doctorates from the London School of Economics and the University of Birmingham, an LLB, and a B.A. from Ọbáfẹ́mi Awólọ́wọ̀ University.
He is Full Professor of Philosophy at Howard University, where he teaches courses in evidence, proof, and Africana thought.
