Devin Singh is a scholar of religion, theology, and social theory engaged in research, writing, speaking, and teaching in academic and public settings. Devin is a tenured Associate Professor of Religion at Dartmouth College, where he teaches courses in religion, philosophy, ethics, organizational dynamics, and the connections among religion, economics, and politics. He also serves as a faculty associate for Dartmouth’s Consortium of Studies in Race, Migration, and Sexuality and is a advisory committee member for the Leslie Center for the Humanities at Dartmouth. Devin serves as a lecturer at Tuck School of Business, and has also held visiting or lecturer positions at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.
He received his Ph.D. in religious studies from Yale, where he was named a Whiting Fellow, Yale's highest recognition for research in the humanities. He was also trained in social scientific theory and methods at the University of Chicago (M.A.), theology and divinity at Trinity International University (M.Div.), and religious studies at Pomona College (B.A.). His work has been supported by the Luce, Lilly, and Mellon Foundations and has received national and international recognition.
Outside academia, Devin also provides coaching, training, and leadership development for private and non-profit sectors by drawing on the best humanistic and social scientific insights for practical engagement. He supports leaders, teams, and organizations seeking to improve effectiveness and meaningful impact.
Devin’s research explores the moral and cultural frameworks that shape economic life, political institutions, and the meanings we assign to work, value, and authority. With expertise in religion, philosophy, and ethics, his scholarship investigates how belief systems—both sacred and secular—inform our public and institutional imaginaries.
Alongside his academic work, Devin engages contemporary questions around leadership, identity, professional development, and cross-cultural interaction. His public-facing work draws on history, philosophy, social science, and empirical insights to open space for more reflective, human-centered approaches to power, purpose, and collaboration.
Through his writing, teaching, speaking, and advising, Devin hopes to further mutual understanding, justice, and compassion--as well as meaningful and sustainable work, productivity, and value creation. A life of the mind and an engagement with the riches of the humanities and social sciences, he believes, are a crucial part of this endeavor. His research is also motivated by a passion and burden to help others see, appreciate, and navigate the nuance and complexities of life together on this planet.
