I learned how subtle differences in report wording change scores (language often overrides simple counts), and gained hands-on experience with international human-rights sources and coding rules grounded in international law (e.g., ICCPR). I plan to apply these methods and analytical skills to my Public Relations and Political Science studies and in future work that combines research, policy analysis, and advocacy to support evidence-based human-rights work.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Faith Limose &#8217;28<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political Science and Public Relations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5153,"featured_media":18278,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[158,362],"tags":[196,73,103,106],"class_list":["post-18277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fellows","category-student-profile","tag-center-for-the-humanities","tag-harrington-school-of-communication-and-media","tag-political-science","tag-public-relations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18277"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18279,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18277\/revisions\/18279"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/artsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
