Hey there! My name is Ananya Hariharan and I’m a PhD candidate in Political Science at UCLA. My dissertation project studies the ways in which firm diversity shapes corporate political activity. I’m also an affiliate of UCLA’s Voting Rights Project.

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.
