Harris Hall-Fifth Floor
Vineeta Singh joined the Interdisciplinary Studies Program and the VCU community in Fall 2021. She has previously taught at the University of Maryland College Park, the College of William & Mary, and the University of California in Santa Barbara and San Diego. She completed her Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies from the University of California, San Diego in 2018 with a dissertation historicizing contemporary conversations around 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' in higher ed by placing today’s controversies and confrontations in the context of 400 years of U.S. racial democracy.
Her teaching and research are grounded in critical and abolitionist university studies. She serves as Associate Editor of Ethnic Studies Review, a UC Press journal, and is currently curating submissions for a distributed special issue titled “Abolitionist Pedagogies, Pedagogical Labor,” exploring how to build pedagogies, classrooms, and institutions grounded in radical traditions of feminist, queer, abolitionist, and decolonial world-making.
