Luiz Leomil, BA (LaSalle Rio de Janeiro), MA (Carleton), started the PhD program in September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luiz\u2019s research focus is on refugee policy, particularly in Latin America. For his dissertation project, Luiz hopes to study how countries in this region (such as Colombia and Peru) have responded to the displacement of Venezuelans and the factors influencing their responses. By doing so, he aims to promote a more nuanced understanding of the politics of asylum in Latin America and also advance the literature by making it more representative of the political realities in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his time at Carleton, Luiz has worked as a research assistant for the Local Engagement Refugee Research Network (LERRN)<\/a>, the Global Mobility of Talent Research Group<\/a>, the G\u00eanLab: A Community of Practice on Gender Norms and Health Service, and the Lancet-SIGHT Commission on Peace, Justice, and Gender Equality for Healthy Societies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2020, Luiz has also been working alongside Dr. Ola El-Taliawi (Postdoctoral Fellow), to support her work to develop her manuscript on refugee policy in the Middle East, and Professor James Milner, to support a new initiative to define refugee policy as a sub-field of refugee and forced migration studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Luiz was shortlisted for the Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS) 2021 essay contest. His essay, entitled \u201cDisplaced Venezuelans and the Politics of Asylum: The Case of Brazil\u2019s Group Recognition Policy<\/a>\u201d, was based on his Master\u2019s Research Project, supervised by Professor James Milner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside academia, Luiz has experience working with refugees in Brazil and Canada, having worked with Caritas and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
