Description
What are human rights? How are human rights secured and protected? At the University of Chicago, research and teaching in human rights integrate exploration of the core questions of human dignity with critical examination of the institutions designed to promote and protect human rights in the contemporary world. The University of Chicago Human Rights Program is an initiative unique among its peers for the interdisciplinary focus its faculty and students bring to bear on these essential matters. The Human Rights Program continues the Chicago tradition of rigorous academic preparation, integrated with "real world" experience and perspectives. Human rights education aspires to prepare students as citizens, not merely as biologists, business people, or English teachers. The Human Rights curriculum includes a core sequence of disciplinary, thematic, and regional perspectives. The Human Rights internship program provides fellowships to students for practical experiences at host organizations in the U.S. and around the world. Through conferences, workshops, lectures, and film series, the Program brings the world to the campus, incorporating the broader community into its educational mission.
