Nadira is primarily responsible for research and analysis, coordination and support of program work conducted by ICCR’s program directors on a range of issues, from the diversity of corporate boards to policies affecting human rights and the environment. She supports program staff in many ICCR company dialogues, dozens of which occur every year, and she provides organizational support to the program team. Nadira helps ICCR take advantage of opportunities to coordinate with other NGOs on specific issues, and helps the organization strengthen its research capacity by coordinating ICCR’s internship program.
Nadira was born in Trinidad. She obtained a BA and MA in Political Science from The Graduate Center, The City University of New York. For her master’s thesis, she traveled to Kerala, India, researching the ways women, Dalits and Adivasis change society and government in Kerala by continuously challenging their status as marginalized populations. She has also traveled to Brazil researching Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement, or, as it is referred to in Portuguese, Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST).
Nadira likes to have a hands-on approach to analysis and research, and ICCR meets that need.
