Director of Field Research
Lauren Grant holds an MA in Human Rights from the Legal Studies Department of Central European University and an International Human Rights Defender Certificate from the Foundations of Human Rights Protection in Constitutional and International Law postgraduate specialisation programme. She is a graduate of the Zoryan Institute’s Genocide and Human Rights University Program, and is currently pursuing an MSc in Violence, Conflict, and Development at SOAS University of London.
At Earth Refuge and beyond, Lauren’s research and advocacy spans the fields of climate-induced displacement, women’s, Indigenous and minority rights, violence, conflict, genocide, and development. In 2022, she founded the world’s first International School on Climate Migration, a five-week long summer school co-hosted by Earth Refuge and the SOAS Department of Development Studies.
In her free time, Lauren enjoys reading, diving into deep and explorative discussion over a cup of coffee, and soaking up the sunshine with her adored wife.
