Andrew Chan is a first-year Master of Global Affairs student at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto. Prior to this, he graduated from the University of Toronto Mississauga in June 2023 as an Honours Bachelor of Arts with High Distinction, with a specialist degree in political science and history.

As a research intern at HRNK, Andrew hopes to learn more about the role of NGOs and research organizations in tackling pressing global issues, such as human rights in isolated authoritarian states like North Korea. He is passionate about human rights issues and global security, and is very interested in the foreign affairs and international diplomacy, which intersect with these topics. The unique and isolated situation of North Korea is something that Andrew strongly believes merits more understanding, and he wants to further explore the area of human rights in North Korea during his internship.
