Fathima (Hana) Rajap

Born and raised in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Hana holds a B.A. from the University of Chicago, where she majored in political science and psychology. Most recently, she worked as a data analyst at the United Nations Development Programme in Sri Lanka and the Office of the U.N. Resident Coordinator in Sri Lanka, on initiatives to consolidate and analyze risk indicators to inform strategic and programming priorities on social cohesion and peacebuilding. Understanding and addressing the proliferation of hate speech and misinformation has been a recurrent focus in her professional career to date. At Princeton, Hana plans to build skills relevant to the design and evaluation of evidence-based and contextualized approaches to building sustainable peace. Outside of work and the classroom, she enjoys reading (particularly mysteries), playing board games, singing, and spending time with her cat, Moxie.
