Junru is a graduate student in the Department of Political Science at McGill University under the co-supervision of Dr. Vincent Pouliot and Dr. Sarah-Myriam Martin-Brûlé. His research, funded by the FRQSC, seeks to identify challenges and issues humanitarian professionals encounter during their everyday work in complex, uncertain and at times dangerous environments that affect their ability to perform their work functions. As part of his research, he interviews humanitarian, peacekeeping and development practitioners in the field to understand their needs. After living in Russia, Afghanistan and most of Central Asia, Junru moved to Canada for his Bachelor’s degree in International Studies at Bishop’s University. His undergraduate thesis focused on cash-based relief programming in post-emergency scenarios. Prior to joining McGill University, he worked in humanitarian relief and development programs in Tajikistan, Mongolia, Myanmar and Ethiopia.
