Rashmee Singh

Prior to completing my PhD, I received my BSc in Sociology from the London School of Economics and my MA in Criminology & Socio-Legal Studies from the University of Toronto. In addition to my academic experience, in the early 2000's, I worked for a non-profit organization focused on reforming the criminal justice response to domestic violence. I also worked for the Ministry of the Attorney General's court based, Victim Witness Assistance Program, where I engaged in front line work with complainants in domestic and sexual violence cases.
My current research includes projects on domestic violence, university sexual violence, and specialized prostitution courts. I teach courses on feminist legal theory, law and society, and the governance of crime. My emerging areas of interest include contemporary politics and the 'culture wars,' particularly in relation to how they are impacting universities.
