Kushan Dasgupta

Dasgupta’s research focuses on how non-union labor organizations organize and advocate in the pursuit of policy goals. Specifically; he examines how such organizations pursue local minimum wage policies and use such policies to secure other benefits for low-wage workers; including wage theft protection and paid sick days provisions. He also volunteer regularly with multiple non-profits in Los Angeles; such as South Asian Network and Asian Americans Advancing Justice; by helping at citizenship clinics; where he and others assist legal permanent residents in filling out the “N-400” form; the application for naturalization and citizenship.
