Priya Prabhakar is a rising senior at Scripps College, pursuing a degree in Media Studies with a focus in labor, surveillance, and visual theory. Priya has previously worked at the Worker Rights Consortium where she did research about labor union movements of garment workers in the Global South. Priya’s work is grounded in harnessing the potential of data analysis and data visualization to help us understand the adverse material effects of capital accumulation and how we can spatially and geographically track anti-imperialist, labor, and feminist social movements in order to organize more effectively. At the Haas Institute, Priya will be working on the Equity Metrics team where she will be mapping racial, social, and economic equity indicators and opportunity barriers through GIS technology, programming, and literature review.
