Priya Fielding-Singh : Interview for Stanford Community Women's March Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
Priya Fielding-Singh (2018 PhD Sociology), describes her experience attending the Women’s March in Washington, DC. She describes how she and her best friend from college felt it was important for them to attend as feminists. She also discusses how her studies at Stanford on inequality and activism influenced her decision to attend. Fielding-Singh recounts the sense of community and warmth she felt in attending the march, beginning with her flight from San Francisco to DC. She describes the humor she observed in the outfits, signs and chants of the march. Fielding-Singh stayed in Washington, DC, for a few days after the march and recounts the somber and dark mood of the city in the first days of the Trump presidency as a stark contrast to the day of the Women’s March. She concludes by discussing her continuing activism after the march.
Fielding-Singh graduated with a PhD in sociology in 2018 and is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Stanford Prevention Research Center in Stanford’s School of Medicine. Her dissertation and research focused on health and inequality.
