Julietta Singh, Whitney J. Oates Short-Term Fellow in the Humanities Council and the Effron Center for the Study of America

Julietta Singh (University of Richmond) is a decolonial scholar and nonfiction writer whose work engages the enduring global effects of colonization through attention to ecology, inheritance, race, gender and sexuality. She works and teaches across decolonial studies, the ecological humanities, queer studies, and experimental feminisms. Singh is the author of three books: Unthinking Mastery: Dehumanism & Decolonial Entanglements, No Archive Will Restore You, and most recently, The Breaks, in which Singh pens a long letter to her young daughter about race, inheritance, and queer mothering at the end of the world. It has recently been hailed as a best nonfiction book of the year by entities such as the New York Public Library, Book Riot, and the Seminary Co-op Bookstore. She is currently at work on At Home in Another World, an experimental feature film collaboration (with Chase Joynt), currently in development with the National Film Board of Canada. Singh is associate professor of English and women’s, gender and sexuality studies, University of Richmond.
