John Abraham is an Associate Professor and Academic Dean at United College, University of Waterloo, with interdisciplinary expertise spanning political economy, social entrepreneurship, and South Asian studies. Previously Assistant Professor of Global Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University, his research examines economic policy-identity politics intersections, international experiential learning, and community-based development frameworks.
Education includes:
- Ph.D. in Politics and International Relations (Royal Holloway University of London)
- M.Phil. in Modern South Asian Studies (University of Cambridge)

His scholarship critically engages with development paradigms, including critiques of social entrepreneurship as global citizenship and analyses of Hindu nationalist political economy. Current projects investigate digital technology innovations in development contexts and decolonial approaches to international studies.
Publications demonstrate sustained engagement with political ideology in South Asia, social innovation frameworks, and community conservation governance. Methodologies blend political economy analysis with ethnographic approaches to development practice.
Abraham serves on the board of Mennonite Central Committee Ontario and Ontario Council for International Cooperation, bridging academic and practitioner communities.
