Internationally, communities approach the idea of human rights (HR) though many histories, traditions, and values. This course studies those differences and returns to the foundational questions of contemporary HR, asking: “what do we owe one another and how do we express and share those values and obligations?” Through this course students shall: 1) become more familiar with the history of HR and associated educational projects, 2) gain familiarity with the theoretical foundations of the same, and 3) become adept in the use of both as tools in the service of wider international and domestic educational goals.
