Student Profile

Revati Joshi

BA Candidate, Political and Social Thought

About

I was raised in India, and I am majoring in Political and Social Thought. My specific interests lie in the intersections between religion, race and government in the global East, as well as how race and religion inform American democracy through American literature. I am also broadly interested in social movements—their origins and impacts. Although these topics seem disparate, I enjoy making connections between them in order to better understand the state of democracy in our world today.
