Davindar Singh is Presidential Scholar and PhD Candidate in ethnomusicology with a secondary field in anthropology at Harvard University. His dissertation project, “Cultures of Cargo: Trucking, Musical Media, and the Logistics of Punjabi Mobility,” traces how changes in Punjabi popular media, and parallel changes in South Asian logistics industries, emerge from a common history of transnational logistical extraction. This history looms large in contemporary political conflict in Punjab and is constituted, in part, through music, political oratory, masculine sports poetry, and everyday discourse about the spatialized motion of value in the making of post-Liberalization India’s political economy. He is co-chair of the Society for Ethnomusicology’s Sound Studies Section. He also used to be a saxophonist.
