Adam Auerbach is a PhD student in Political Science and a masters student in Agricultural and Applied Economics. His research interests converge at the intersection of identity politics, federalism, and the political economy of development.  Adam’s anticipated dissertation will examine the impact of migration on inter-ethnic cooperation, political organization, and community development in India’s urban slums. He has studied, taught, and conducted research on issues of local governance and development in South Korea, Thailand, and India on grants and fellowships from the Freeman-Asia Foundation, FLAS, Fulbright-IIE, the Center for South Asia, and the UW-Madison International Institute. During the summer of 2009, he will conduct research and contribute to policy as an intern for the National Institute of Urban Affairs in New Delhi in order to gain a deeper understanding of urban poverty and governance in India.
