Rebecca Adami, Stockholm University, Sweden

Wednesday, November 10, 2021

10:30 am – 11:30 am, CST

In this webinar, Rebecca Adami invites us to look afresh at history and at the historical narratives surrounding the founding of the United Nations and the modern human rights project. She highlights a colonial historical trajectory of human rights that rests on accounts of western agency, with scholarship and teaching leading many to assume that the human rights project is exclusively western in its origins.

by Leave a comment

Registration is open for the 2021 Othering & Belonging Conference: Risk and the Courage to Bridge,  that will take place online on October 18 and 19, 2021.

Can we bridge in the context of power imbalances? Is there such a thing as a bridge too far? What are alternatives to writing people and groups off as irredeemable? How can bridging help us transform structures that systemically marginalize people because of their race, disabilities or other categories?

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
