Tyler Brooks, Migration & Asylum Project
Blog Postings from my Legal Internship Abroad in India, Summer 2024
Started in 2013 by former UN lawyers, the Migration & Asylum Project seeks to fuel systemic change in India's approach towards migration and displacement.

The internship is based out of the busy and bustling city of New Delhi.
