On April 19, 2024, members of the HRE USA podcast team attended the International Association for Human Rights Education (IAHRE) Conference. The 2024 IAHRE Conference: Extending Human Rights Education took place at the University College London. It built on the experiences of the WERA International Research Network on Human Rights Education and on fourteen previous International Conferences on Education and Democratic Citizenship (ICEDC) conferences.
The 2024 IAHRE Conference provided a unique opportunity to network with human rights educators from across the globe, share and discuss the latest research, and examine policy and practice relating to human rights education.
The HRE USA Podcast team offered a poster presentation based on our podcast, Human Rights Education NOW!. We shared key takeaways from our first year in production, such as the considerations that went into building a space for critical discussions and insights into the evolution and expansion of our project and the HRE USA movement in the US.
Their paper, “Elevating the Online Space for Critical Dialogue in HRE: A Human Rights Education NOW! Podcast Case Study” will be published in Human Rights Education Review later this year, and has been written by team members Bill Fernekes, Sabrina Sanchez, Jazzmin Gota, Kristi Rudelius-Palmer, Elizabeth Schwab, Jessica Terbrueggen.
