Roye Ganju is a Year 10 high school student at the United World College of South East Asia, Dover Campus, Singapore. He was selected to be a member of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project Mapping Corps in 2021; this project aims to conduct nonpartisan analysis to understand and eliminate partisan gerrymandering at a state-by-state level.
During his time at CCIR Academy, Roye undertook a research project entitled “Next Year in Jerusalem: Understanding the Evolution of Political Identity and Affiliation among Mizrahi and Russian-Speaking Populations in Israel.” This study investigates two essential components of right-wing politics in Israel, namely, Mizrahi voters and voters from Russian-speaking populations. Roye’s research delves into the divergent political views of these groups and examines the various factors that shape their political stance and decision-making.
In a recent episode of CCIR Academy Student Spotlights, Roye shared his insights on his research and highlighted the invaluable support and guidance provided by his professors and the CCIR academy during his research journey.
