Director of Communications
Elizabeth Johnson
Hi! I am a 2nd year student reading Human, Social and Political Sciences at Homerton College. I initially became interested in geopolitics and international relations through pursuing chess as a hobby, which drove me to compete around the world. I followed this up with joining the Model United Nations society at school; this is something I have been committed to as a result of my interest in negotiation and dispute resolution, particularly when applied to current affairs. Being a part of the CUGRIS team is an incredibly exciting endeavour!
