The GHfP Institute actively creates dialogue spaces for intellectual exchange, engagement with thematic exploration, collaborative research, and knowledge creation.
To this end, we invite global scholars and researchers to join our growing network of Fellows and Associates. Each year, the Fellows and Associates take part in our research symposia and conferences, contribute to our courses and programmes, and contribute to our research publications.
