About Divisha Jaiswal

Hi! I hold a dual degree in International Studies and Political Science from the Johns Hopkins University. I am a multilingual international student born and brought up in India. I am keenly aware that here, in the United States, I am situated at the intersections of a multiplicity of identities that offer me a unique vantage point to critically parse and analyze domestic politics and international affairs. My key academic and research interests include intersectional feminism, justice and equity, and human and civil rights. I am confident that the perspectives I can bring to the table as a result of my disposition are necessary for catalyzing change.
