Centre Working Group

In addition to the Management Committee, the Centre operates with the assistance of a Centre Working Group made up of various sub-committees. The sub-committees, comprising Centre Associates, have been devised primarily to:

- reflect the current interests and expertise of AHRC Associates; and

- foster interdisciplinary collaboration on contemporary human rights issues and develop potential research and educational projects

Membership of sub-committees, which is open to change, includes academics and representatives from community organisations and other relevant institutions external to the University. These sub-committees may be replaced or new committees constituted, according to Centre activities. Sub-committee Convenors and members (Centre Associates) comprise the Centre Working Group and will meet with the Centre Director and Management Committee from time to time to report on projects and initiatives.

Current CWG sub-committees are as follows:
