Profile

Dr. Pratik Raghu Pratik completed his PhD in Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2022. His dissertation analyzes repertoires of ungovernability within Indigenous mobilizations against neoliberal dispossession and state violence in Jharkhand, India and Oaxaca, Mexico. His broader intellectual interests include Indigenous, decolonial, anti-capitalist, and anti-authoritarian movements and theoretical frameworks from South Asia, Latin America, and other parts of the Global South, as well as alternative globalization paradigms and scholar-activist methodologies. Pratik’s research has appeared in both leading scholarly publications, such as Perspectives on Global Development and Technology, as well as prominent public intellectual platforms, such as ROAR Magazine, Society & Space, CounterPunch, and It’s Going Down. As a Post Growth Institute Fellow for 2023-24, Pratik will explore the linkages between postgrowth, anti-fascism, and class struggle.
