Hey there! My name is Ananya Hariharan and I’m a graduate student in Political Science at UCLA. I study corporate advocacy on social policies with an eye toward how that advocacy shapes policies that strengthen racialization within the United States.

In my free time, I like throwing dinner parties, taking pilates classes, going on long walks with my headphones on, reading science fiction, and hanging out with my cats. In another life I think I’d probably be a veterinarian.
