Deeper Read

The Deeper Read is a space where leading and emerging scholars, staff of international organisations, advocates and experts meet to facilitate the development and sharing of reflections and proposals on human rights and democratisation. Pieces in this section are academic in style, analytical in substance. They include quality excerpts from published/unpublished theses and essays written by students and recent postgraduate graduates. In addition, The Deeper Read contains series of posts on thematic issues related to current or topical discussions in human rights and democratisation.
