Over the last half of the twentieth century and into the new millennium, the notion of human rights expanded as decolonization, women’s rights, and environmental movements challenged and reconfigured human rights conversations. This course studies these changes to determine how they shaped the way human rights is experienced today. Using both academic and activist sources, students will gain a better understanding of what human rights means, who has influenced ideas about human rights and how human rights efforts play our on the ground. The major project of the course will include students’ researching a specific human rights effort and creating a blog or video about their research project. Pre: 3.40 GPA or better or permission of the director of the honors program.
