Pariroo Rattan is a PhD student in Public Policy program at Harvard University and is a Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Program on Science, Technology and Society (STS). Her doctoral work looks at how state-led efforts towards the digitization of the economy in India transforms economic subjectivity and citizenship, and explores the new regimes of value creation in a data economy. Prior to starting her PhD, she spent a year conducting research in four countries to understand sectoral growth across Yale University, University of Oslo, London School of Economics and College De France. She holds a Master’s degree in International and Development Economics from Yale University on the KC Mahindra Scholarship, and a BA in Economics from the University of Delhi. Apart from thinking about digitization, Pariroo is also interested in the politics of causal inference in the social sciences and music as a technology of social movements.
