Parijat Chakrabarti

Parijat Chakrabarti is a Fritz Family Fellow at the Tech & Society Program at Georgetown University. His doctoral work examined how efforts to digitize Nairobi’s markets transformed the social-ecological system of moving food from farm to table in unexpected ways. This body of work has won several major awards including National Science Foundation grants and two Best Dissertation Paper Awards from the Academy of Management. Now he focuses on strategies that we use to tackle complex social and environmental problems such as driving food systems change or connecting available climate funding with the programs and projects that need it most.
