About Prateek Srivastava
I am a PhD candidate in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Cincinnati. I specialize in Comparative Politics, Methodology, and Feminist Comparative and International Politics. My research interests lie at the intersection of post-war development, gender, sexuality, and militarization in Sri Lanka. My upcoming research publications explore queer and trans perspectives on debt and the debt crisis, the intersection of militarization and gendered work, and LGBTQ+ organizing in Colombo. Currently, I am working on a book that maps everyday experiences and understandings of debt and development emerging through the Aragalaya (people’s struggle) protests in Sri Lanka. I am also interested in trans-feminist and queer notions of justice and repair from a comparative perspective.
