Bio:

Kajol is interested in environmental and political sociology, with a focus on cross-national analysis. Currently, she is interested in decoding the disparities in air pollution outcomes globally, giving particular focus to studying the role of institutional actors such as international non-governmental actors under the world-society framework. Kajol 's future project interests include studying the democracy-environment nexus, climate migration, the media coverage of climate change or environmental news, and the changes in global environmental agreements such as those posited yearly at the United Nations' Climate Change Conference of the Parties. 

Along with the environment, Kajol is interested in studying changes in public opinion around drug use and reproductive rights in the United States as the legal status of these subjects continue to shift dramatically over the last decade.
