Habib University's Social Development and Policy Programme held its first Undergraduate Research Conference on Saturday. The conference highlighted the research contributions of its senior students and alumni as well as class projects. Dr Ambar Darr, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Law, Economics, and Society (CLES) and Teaching Fellow at UCL, delivered the keynote speech, in which she discussed the impact of democracy on law reforms and the importance of a transparent and accountable decision making process.
Students presented their thesis papers regarding important themes in social science research such as Sustainability, Issues in Education, Feminist Research, Cultural Heritage and Anthropology and more. These research ideas have focused on many problems that Pakistan faces in a variety of domains, i.e. policy and governance, environment and resources management, relations with foreign countries, corporations and institutions, political instability and radicalism, and women's conditions.
