A graduate of Dartmouth College with a major in Art History and a minor in Government, Jajodia returns to alma mater as a Ph.D. student in political theory at Yale University.

The victim of this combination, he argues, is cosmopolitanism, and his talk explores a middle ground to reclaim middlebrow culture—neither high nor low, comfortable in itself and able to mediate between both.
