Human Rights

The Human Rights class is designed to promote a critical comprehension of the human rights discourse. The class covers modern human rights institutions and how these benefit nation and non-state actors. The class also investigates the political, philosophical and historical evolution of thoughts regarding human rights which underpin current processes. In recognition of the importance of a globalised comprehension of human rights, the class explores thoughts about human rights from multidisciplinary, multi cultural and multi-religious perspectives, as well as appearances at the functions of social moves, grass roots campaigns and other actors have played at the creation of human rights ideas and techniques. The class takes a problematising approach to instruction, triggering students to engage with a range of thoughts and perspectives and also to develop their particular rankings. The class employs both theoretical and practical learning techniques giving students the opportunity to put their learning to practice and also to pursue different areas of interest more intensely.
