Jennifer Hyndman<\/strong> is Professor and Coordinator of the Global Geography Program in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change at York University. She is also Resident Scholar at York\u2019s Centre for Refugee Studies<\/a> (CRS) where she is past Director (2013-2019). Hyndman\u2019s research focuses on international responses to humanitarian disasters, including both the geopolitics of displacement and the biopolitics of managing refugee-migrants, as well as refugee settlement in Canada. Current research projects probe 1) how private refugee sponsorship is sustained over time in Canadian communities, and the motivations of sponsors and the meanings they attach to the work they do; 2) longitudinal research exploring the well-being, inclusion, and integration of Syrians who came to BC, Ontario and Quebec in 2015-2016, and 3) LERRN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2020, York University appointed Jennifer as Associate Vice-President Research.
