The GHFP’s publications are intended to articulate, share and disseminate our research understandings, learnings from discussions, and insights from projects. These monographs and edited collections below are some recent examples illustrating the fruits of our research, dialogue and project work. We believe that GHFP publications can create a greater platform for encounter and exchange of ideas.

Where possible, we tend to publish our work through major international publishers for wider distribution and readership, and/or through peer-reviewed journals. Our team normally disseminate symposium and event proceedings in a format of book, booklet or an edited collection of papers.
