Ethan Chiang is a first-year student majoring in Global Affairs from Toronto, Canada. He is interested in strategic peacebuilding, migration, and development, particularly in ethnically pluralistic post-conflict societies. Through the Developing Researchers Program, he is working with Professor Victoria Hui to examine Chinese military texts and investigate the history of the Jesuit cartography of the Chinese empire. Additionally, Chiang is working as a research assistant in the Nanovic Institute’s Fighting for Democracy and Human Rights through the Arts research project and is involved with public policy research through the Student Policy Network. Over spring break, he is traveling to Berlin to explore the efficacy of Germany’s policies towards refugees and immigrants. He hopes to continue to grow his research skills, as well as develop his language skills in French and Mandarin.
