GPAC Assembly Tackles Hefty Question

GPAC11 recently held their annual assembly, which was designed around one central question: “Why do institutions sacrifice the interests of the people?” The question was reflective of the assembly’s collaborative design. In preparation for their talk, GPAC worked to draw connections between their projects in order to identify common research themes. Their final product established four central themes: the impacts of the abuse of executive power, ethnic majoritarianism’s subversion of civil liberties, the challenges presented by resource scarcity, and the relationship between institutional legitimacy and the suppression of civil liberties. The presentation was a celebration of their progress in their research and a moment to engage with others regarding their work. GPAC will now begin their writing process!
