The collaborative environment fostered by ASAP has inspired innovative and impactful research.

Why We Ignore Global Injustice

Mentorship and exposure to real-world cases have enriched my research significantly.

Social Justice in India: A Fellowship Journey

India’s complex interplay of politics, welfare, and social justice is a fascinating field of study. My ASAP Fellowship has been instrumental in exploring these dynamics, particularly the impact of political parties on poverty alleviation.

Under the guidance of Dr. Pogge and Dr. Chandhoke, I’ve delved into issues from human trafficking to financial crime. This experience has equipped me with the tools to drive meaningful change. I wholeheartedly recommend the ASAP Fellowship for aspiring scholars committed to a fairer world.

Unveiling the Dongria Kond Story

I’m currently researching the world of the Dongria Kond tribe, examining how commercialization of their Kapdagonda shawl fits into Wallerstein’s system theory.

Preliminary research highlights their resilience against corporate encroachment. My upcoming field work will capture their firsthand experiences.

The ASAP fellowship, especially Raymond Baker’s insights on illicit financial flows, has expanded my research perspective. I’m excited to share more as my project unfolds.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a fairer world.

Igniting Change Through Research

My ASAP Fellowship journey has been transformative. Connecting with fellow researchers passionate about global poverty has ignited my work on human trafficking.

The program’s mentorship and events have expanded my knowledge and inspired me to make a greater impact. I’m excited to contribute to the fight against modern slavery and build upon the valuable connections forged through ASAP.
