Dr. Sonalde Desai has pursued a research career focusing on social transformation in the Global South. This research has received tremendous support and encouragement from the Department of Sociology and the University of Maryland, and it is her wish that similar opportunities be made available to students and faculty in the Sociology Department in support of the University’s global mission through this fund.
