Senior researcher
Rashi Sonal
Rashi Sonal is a doctoral candidate in Organisational Behaviour at the London School of Economics. Her research focuses on the interplay between identity and image at work. Existing research has examined identity processes but has relatively less to say about image, a fundamental dimension of self-perception. How an individual believes he or she is defined by other people can be equally, if not more, consequential for their professional life and career trajectory than their self-views or identity.   Rashi's work examines the relationship between identity and image, highlighting the fundamental role of image in understanding identity processes, and its outcomes in organizations. She explores how individuals manage identity and image construction in both typical organizational settings and among gig workers, and how this process impacts the individual, their interpersonal relationships, and the audience.  She employs various qualitative, quantitative, and experimental methods in her research.  Rashi's research has received awards at the British Academy of Management (BAM) conference and nominated for awards at the Academy of Management (AOM) conference. Before joining LSE, Rashi received a dual MSc degree in Global Strategic Management from the University of Virginia, US, and ESADE Business School, Spain. She holds a Bachelors in Commerce (Honours) from the University of Delhi, India. Rashi also has industry experience in financial audit, having worked with Deloitte for two years.

I hold a PhD from King’s College London, in the department of Culture, Media, and Creative Industries and am confident working with a variety of stakeholders, and research communities, as well as managing projects from research design through to synthesis. I have disseminated research in a variety of formats - both through presentations, videos, and by drafting detailed research reports. I have native level German and English proficiency. Recently I worked on a project with Word on the Curb and Google, focusing on Millennial and Gen-Z experiences of AI in Berlin. Due to the short turnaround ahead of Google I/O 23 the project was conducted in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, dealing with tight deadlines and last-minute amends. I moderated focus groups in German, worked to synthesise qualitative data at pace and collaborated with cross-functional teams to effectively communicate research insights. Furthermore, as a researcher at King's College London, I successfully managed research projects from inception to publication, securing substantial grants and funding for these studies. I specialise in qualitative research and conducted a 13-month ethnographic study (incorporating 80+ interviews) on dating app users and social media in Berlin, which provided me with valuable insights into user behaviour and digital platforms. In addition to my research expertise, as a videographer working with clients including the British Film Institute and Ericsson, I have had the opportunity to work on high-profile projects, conducting interviews with renowned talent and delivering engaging video content. My creative insight, ability to communicate complex ideas concisely, and direct projects has been pivotal in these roles. I have disseminated research in a variety of formats - both through presentations, videos, and by drafting detailed research reports. I have native level German and English proficiency.

My thesis, entitled ‘Revolution and its Dislocations: Syria's 2011 Moment as Conceived by its Creators’, focuses on decentralised anti-hierarchical organising in the Syrian uprising While pursuing my studies part-time, I work for a research centre, have been on the editorial board of a journal, have taught sociological theory to LSE undergrads, serve on an academic society’s communications committee, have published my research and been awarded prizes for my conference presentations. My academic expertise is in the politics and societies of the Middle East, with a particular focus on Syria and Israel/Palestine. I have published on MENA social movements, am currently helping conduct research for a book by Vincent Bevins on this topic, and have a wide survey knowledge of other issues (particularly to do with regional geopolitics) through my six years working as the Communications Coordinator (and now Manager) at the LSE Middle East Centre. Before that I worked as an editor for Hurst Publishers (who are known for their MENA, Africa and Asia lists), a researcher for Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), and a translator for a museum in Al-Quds University dedicated to the Palestinian prisoners’ movement. I have lived in Jordan and Palestine and have a good level of spoken Levantine Arabic and am proficient in Modern Standard Arabic. Given the overlap between my professional experience, my excellent teaching record as a GTA at LSE in 2022 and a class teacher at the LSE Summer School in 2023, and my academic expertise (I am midway through my PhD, have published one academic piece and received a prize for an unpublished conference paper), I am well placed to offer research assistance on projects involving international development, regional politics in the Middle East and North Africa (Syria in particular), governance structures, local service provision, among other topics.

Noel Mariam George
London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, UK
I am a dedicated researcher with a PhD in International History from the London School of Economics, with significant experience in interdisciplinary research and project coordination. My academic work has centered on the intersection of historical analysis, public policy, and socio-political dynamics, particularly in the context of refugee rehabilitation in South Asia and the evolution of international institutions. In my doctoral studies, I have focused on the complex processes of refugee rehabilitation in South Asia, analyzing the roles and interactions of various actors such as government agencies, civil society organizations, and international bodies. This research required extensive fieldwork, archival research, and a deep understanding of socio-political contexts, allowing me to produce nuanced analyses that informed both academic discourse and policy development. As a Research Assistant in the Department of Methodology at LSE, I contributed to a project that traced the evolution of UN regional offices across different geographical scales. My role involved collecting and analyzing primary documents from international organizations such as the IAEA, ICAO, FAO, ICSC, and ILO, and synthesizing these insights to study institutional path dependence. This experience honed my skills in archival research, document analysis, and the ability to contextualize institutional changes within broader global trends. My experience at the Centre for Public Policy Research in Kochi further deepened my understanding of public policy analysis and its application in real-world scenarios. Here, I engaged in policy evaluation, project coordination, and the synthesis of research findings into actionable recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to integrate interdisciplinary methodologies and perspectives into my research, allowing for a comprehensive approach to understanding complex issues. My expertise lies in combining historical insights with contemporary policy analysis, enabling me to contribute to projects that require a deep understanding of both the past and present.

I am an LL.M. (Master of Laws) candidate at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I am a motivated individual with a demonstrated interest in the areas of International Trade Law and Investment Treaty Law (and their linkage with developmental, environmental and human rights studies). Currently, I am an intern at the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, where I am updating their investment treaty law databases, to be used to study 'regulatory chill'. I have previously been a research assistant at the Permanent Mission of the State of Qatar to the World Trade Organisation, where I gained significant exposure to matters of trade policy formulation and improvement of international trade law capacities of developing nations. I have also previously interned at the Centre for Trade and Investment Law (established by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India), Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. Here, I undertook research on the usage of non-WTO law as substantive law before WTO disputes, on the dispute settlement history of various cases before the WTO, on matters of international taxation and on the establishment narrative of globalisation. I was chosen to participate as a youth delegate at the UNCTAD15 Youth Forum. I contributed to the drafting of the UNCTAD Youth Declaration and examined carbon border taxes, from a trade, developmental and environmental perspective. It enhanced my ability to work closely with people from different ethnicities and diverse backgrounds and arrive at mediated solutions accounting for multiple interests.  I am proficient in the usage of MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint. I am fluent in English, Hindi and Telugu and possess an intermediate knowledge of French.
