Full Description
This groundbreaking book explores the expanding and impactful relationship between human rights and academia, illustrating historical and emerging practices for integrating human rights within scholarship and teaching in a range of disciplines and professional studies. By providing examples of meaningful applications across 13 academic fields, chapters examine the varied ways that higher education engages with human rights ontologically, theoretically, conceptually, and in practice. Collectively, it also demonstrates that human rights remain essential for addressing 21st-century challenges, emphasizing the role of faculty and students in advancing this work. Offering a framework for designing and studying the infusion of human rights within and across disciplines, this work includes a broad range of discussion questions to enrich learner engagement, critical thinking, and practical application. It is a vital resource for instructors, departments, and multidisciplinary centers, as well as anyone engaged in human rights, social justice, peace, and global citizenship education.
