He holds a post-graduate degree in history from Delhi University. He has taught at the National Defence College in New Delhi, and written a dissertation on solidarity at the University of Oxford, U.K.
Adelphi's International Initiatives Committee (IIC) is a campus-wide group of faculty, administrators, and students charged with infusing courses and campus events with internationalized content. The IIC allows the University to offer dynamic programs such as its acclaimed Ambassador Series in intimate settings so students, faculty, and the public have the opportunity to hear first-hand, global perspectives on issues of international concern.
