Jean-Pierre Murray

Jean-Pierre Murray is an Assistant Professor of Government in the International Relations school. His work bridges critical security studies, migration, and international organizations, with a regional focus on Latin America and the Caribbean.

• Education: Ph.D. in Global Governance and Human Security (University of Massachusetts Boston), M.S. in International Studies (Sciences Po Bordeaux), B.S./M.S. in Politics and International Cooperation (University of the West Indies), and B.S. in Political Science (Université des Antilles)

His research examines how migration narratives are constructed and contested by elites, NGOs, and intergovernmental bodies in South-South contexts. A recurring theme is the politicization of human trafficking and its implications for security-driven policy.

Recent publications analyze NGO-IGO dynamics in migration policy, UN gender equality commitments, and securitization of Haitian migrants. While no scientific awards are documented, his work appears in outlets like International Studies Quarterly and Oxford Monitor of Forced Migration.
