Delio Vasquez is an Assistant Professor at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. He holds a PhD in History of Consciousness from University of California, Santa Cruz with concentrations in Politics and Feminist Studies, an MA in Linguistics from CUNY Graduate Center, and a BA in English from University of Chicago. His research examines how colonial racial capitalism shaped modern concepts of criminality, how social movements contested these ideas, and their impact on societal empathy for the poor.
Research combines political theory, Black studies, and decolonial frameworks. Current projects include an intellectual biography of Huey P. Newton (2025) and a study on war/sovereignty concepts in social crime analysis.
Teaching extends to NYU's Prison Education Program at Wallkill Correctional Facility and prior work with San Quentin Prison University Project.
