Anita Rajan

I am a committed law student with a robust academic background, specializing in animal protection and climate adaptation and mitigation laws, focusing on their correlation with constitutional law and public policy. Having completed my LLM program, my dissertation explored Green Criminology and Factory Farming in India. Over the past year, I mentored the Society for Advancement of Animal Welfare and Environment at National Law University, Odisha. Additionally, I taught the course "Law, Cinema and Society" to 10th-semester students as a Teaching Seminar student. I am particularly intrigued by the intricate relationship between these fields and their intersection with constitutional law and public policy. I am eager to study and analyze laws revolving around humans, non-humans, and the environment, contributing to legal initiatives aimed at safeguarding our planet and its inhabitants.
