Narayan received her B.A. in philosophy from Bombay University and her M.A. in philosophy from Pune University, India. Uma Narayan received her Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 1990. In Singing in the Fire: Stories of Women in Philosophy she reveals her experience of moving to the United States in 1987 for graduate studies and being disheartened by the revolutionary feminist thinking progressing outside academia, while stating there was, "not a trace of feminist philosophy in the curriculum." Narayan defined the most valuable experience from graduate school to be joining the newly formed Laurie Chair women's studies seminar. This opportunity allowed connections to other original member, Allison Jaggar as well as article publications and lead to the acceptance of her current position at Vassar College.[11]
