2018 – 2025 LERRN Student Researchers

Research is an integral part of LERRN collective effort to understand and enhance the role of civil society in responding to the needs of refugees in the Global South. LERRN provided research opportunities for students to engage and contribute directly to the needs of our partner civil society organizations in Canada and across countries in the Middle East and East Africa. LERRN also supported collaborative research placements, undertaken by a graduate student from one of our partner Canadian universities (Carleton University, McGill University, University of Ottawa and York University) and a student selected by our Geographic and Working Groups in Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon and Tanzania.
