Abhinav Vijayakumara
Undergraduate Leadership & Research Scholar, The London School of Economics and Political Science
I am a final-year History and Politics student at the London School of Economics, where I also work as a Research Assistant in the Department of Government. My academic interests centre on political economy, governance, trade policy, and the dynamics of development in Latin America. At the European Commission's DG INTPA, I worked on blended finance, EU trade conditionalities under GSP+, and the Global Gateway initiative, which deepened my interest in how international economic policy is designed and implemented in practice. Outside the classroom, I have actively represented the Brazilian student community in London, managed several Model United Nations conferences for youth, and organized academic panels on various topics.

Hello everyone, I am a (graduated) Laidlaw scholar from the 2021/2022 cohort. I am very interested in African studies, linguistics and all forms of art and media. I am currently in my penultimate year at LSE, whilst undertaking a year abroad at Sciences Po in Reims to improve my French language skills.
