Position
CROSSING BORDERS INTERN
Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit, Bangladesh
Wrapping up his fourth year of post-secondary studies, Joel is excited to join other talented interns on the CAPI team. As a political science major, he hopes to develop his understanding of refugees and migrant issues in the South Asian region; he is passionate about social justice and economic empowerment. Joel is also an eager language learner and cannot wait to enrich his world with the Bengla language and culture. He has no doubt that partnering with RMMRU in the mega-city of Dhaka will be a fully rewarding, but equally challenging experience.
