Think Tank Series
Think Tanks require postgraduate students to make an informed argument about several global issues from a number of disciplines and allow collaboration with students from different academic and professional backgrounds.
Attending facilitated Think Tanks regarding relevant and contested global issues will allow postgraduate students participating in the GLP to extend their research and critical thinking skills beyond the passive learning experience of lectures and allow them participate in an environment of discussion, participation and learning.
