Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Rajeev received his B.A. in International Studies and Political Science from The Ohio State University. In addition to his work at the Kirwan Institute, Rajeev continues to write for The Ohio State University's student newspaper, The Lantern, as an opinion columnist. His research interests include examining caste and class hierarchies in South Asia, the construction/deconstruction of nationalism, and the impact of neo-liberal economic policies on communities in developing countries. Also, he is interested in looking at the role of corporations in the international system and addressing the ways in which increasing corporate-control of media runs counter to democratic norms.
