Andrea Zhu is a Global China Pre-doctoral Research Fellow at the Boston University Global Development Policy Center and a PhD Candidate in Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is broadly interested in the environmental and climate politics of infrastructure development and international financial institutions. Her dissertation examines the interaction between multilateral development banks and international civil society in two domains of policymaking: environmental and social safeguards, and climate finance. Her research seeks to revise theories of transnational advocacy and global institutional change to account for a more multipolar field of development finance institutions. Andrea holds an MA in Sociology from UCLA and a BA in Development Studies from Brown University.
