Graduate Associate

B.A. in Literature/Writing, B.A. in Communication from University of California at San Diego

Mallika is a first-year Master of Arts Candidate in the Communication, Culture, and Technology (CCT) program at Georgetown. Prior to coming to DC for graduate school, she was at UC San Diego, studying Communication and Literature/Writing. Her senior thesis looked at the Indo-Hungarian film relationship today and how it is actually the product of distinct economic policy decisions.

As part of CCT, Mallika hopes to further explore her research interests: studying underlying political and economic frameworks of interaction between countries, and seeing how these manifest themselves in different types of media exchange. At CNDLS, Mallika is a CCT Communication and Writing Fellow, helping out with Assessment Services and projects related to Mid-Semester Group Feedback Sessions. She is excited to learn how educational institutions implement digital media into both their teaching processes and analysis of those processes.

In her free time, Mallika enjoys running, writing short stories, and exploring new restaurants.
