Susan Ram has spent much of her life viewing the world from different geographical locations. Born in London, she studied politics and international relations before moving to South Asia: first to Nepal, and then to India, where fieldwork in Tamil Nadu developed into 20 years of residence. The two years she spent in Washington DC during the Ronald Reagan era continue to provide her with useful transatlantic insights, while her current vantage point - a tiny village in rural southwest France - offers her space for both quiet reflection and passionate engagement.
