The Centre of Governance and Human Rights, founded in 2009, will serve as a hub for collaboration between researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in the UK and abroad. The Centre is part of the new Department of Politics and International Studies, which brings politics and international relations together for the first time at Cambridge.
The first David and Elaine Potter Lecturer in Governance and Human Rights, Sharath Srinivasan, will lead the new Centre from September 2009. Mr Srinivasan brings the Centre a rich scholar-practitioner background, having studied conflict and peacemaking in Sudan for his doctorate, led programmes for a leading international humanitarian and development organisation in Sudan, and consulted to European governments and international organisations on conflict prevention, political development and organisational strategy.
Undergraduates, Masters and PhD students already study in the department in large numbers, and the new Centre belongs to Cambridge’s long tradition of studying politics and international relations.
