Dr. Neha Singh is an Assistant Professor in Business Communication and Liberal Arts, with a deep engagement in migration and diaspora studies. She is a member of the International Scientific Committee – Indian Ocean Committee, Indentured Labour Route Project (supported by UNESCO Executive Board).
Her academic contributions include publications in reputed international journals and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Aapravasi Ghat Trust Fund’s newsletter. She has co-edited the volume Literature of Girmitiya: History, Culture and Identity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023), Girmitiya Culture and Memory (Palgrave Macmillan 2024) reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to history, literature, and identity. A recipient of the prestigious ICSSR data collection abroad award, she was also awarded an ICSSR-funded research project in 2023.
Her research interests span migration and diaspora, gendered migration, slave narratives, and cultural production. Dr. Singh believes that reading books opens new windows into the lived experiences of displaced communities- her curiosity was particularly sparked by a book on South Asian religions on display, which deepened her interest in understanding the interplay of faith and identity in diasporic societies.
