 Shaista Aziz Patel works as an Assistant Professor of Critical Muslim Studies in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, San Diego. She identifies as a Pakistani Shi'i Muslim feminist scholar. Mis-trained as a delinquent and accidental anti (?)-disciplinary student, her scholarly and other political investments are in several questions that cautiously draw upon theories in Indigenous (to parts of North America and South Asia), Black, Dalit, critical race, and transnational feminist studies.
