Career

edit

Ramakrishnan has a BA in international relations from Brown University, and a PhD in politics from Princeton University.[1]

Ramakrishnan has written or edited seven books, including Citizenship Reimagined: A New Framework for State Rights in the United States (2020). He was the solo author of Democracy in Immigrant America: Changing Demographics and Political Participation (2005), which Pei-te Lien called "an unprecedented effort systematically to study political participation by immigrants and their offspring, across generations and major racial and national-origin groups".[2] He has also published articles on topics like the integration of immigrants into American political society and public opinion regarding immigration in venues like Perspectives on Politics[3] and the International Migration Review.[4]

Ramakrishnan has founded and directed multiple projects related to data acquisition on minority groups in the US, including the National Asian American Survey,[5] the AAPI Data project to collect information about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the US,[6] and the Inland Empire 2020 Census Complete Count Committee, an effort in San Bernardino County and Riverside County to raise awareness and conduct outreach to hard-to-count populations by the US Census.[7] Ramakrishnan was also the founding editor of the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics.[8]

Ramakrishnan's work has regularly been quoted, or had his work cited, in news outlets like NBC,[9] Vox,[10] the Los Angeles Times,[11] The New York Times,[12] and The Washington Post.[13] He has also published articles in The Washington Post[14] and CNN.[15][16]

Ramakrishnan has served as a member of the U.S. Census Bureau's National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic, and Other Populations,[17] as chair of the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs,[18] and as President of the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni.[19] In 2018, Ramakrishnan was named a member of the Frederick Douglass 200,[20] a project by American University and the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives to select "200 living individuals who best embody the work and spirit of Douglass".[21]
