This is an introductory course for any students interested in studying human rights. Beginning with key documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, we will engage with the history and language of the human rights framework and explore how “human rights” operates as a legal and theoretical tool. As a group, we will challenge our prior ideas about human rights, identify contemporary applications, and reflect on the strengths and limitations of the human rights framework.
