Professor Anuradha Joshi holds a PhD in Public Policy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research interests lie in understanding citizen-state relations, particularly in areas of accountability, collective action, service delivery and bureaucratic behaviour. She has also previously served as a member of the IDS Board of Trustees, and she holds a variety of external roles including as member of the UN Committee of Experts on Public Administration.
Professor Joshi’s contribution to research in South Asia has been instrumental in strengthening policies around governance reforms and public institutions. She has also worked with partners on research projects in Brazil, Ghana, Indonesia, Mozambique, and Vietnam.
As IDS turns 60, the world faces multiple, interconnected global challenges that need to be addressed urgently. At this critical juncture, I am deeply honoured to be taking forward our collective efforts in my new role as Director. IDS’s long standing commitment to research, teaching and engagement along with our partners, offers exciting opportunities to contribute to solutions that are rooted in sustainability, equality and justice.
