About

Professor Daniel McNeil is an award-winning author, editor, and mentor who explores how movement, travel, and relocation have transformed and boosted creative development, the writing of cultural history, and the calculation of political choices.

Over the past two decades, he has contributed to research, teaching, and program development within and across disciplinary and institutional boundaries in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.

In 2021, he was appointed the Queen's National Scholar Chair in Black Studies in recognition of his award-winning research achievements; his development of innovative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary research programs; and his provision of rich and rewarding learning environments for students to engage the connections between the arts, social justice, and decolonial thought. He is currently a producer and co-host of the Black Studies Podcast.
