The University of Cambridge Centre of Governance and Human Rights (CGHR) in POLIS has, since 2009, drawn together experts, practitioners and policymakers from Cambridge and far beyond to think critically and innovatively about pressing governance and human rights issues. With a special focus on Africa, Asia and Latin America, the Centre is establishing itself as a world-class interdisciplinary hub for fresh thinking, collaborative research and improving practice.
Please subscribe to this list to keep up to date on CGHR events. Also, be careful to note locations for individual events as locations will vary.
