Human Rights Politics and Policies: Lessons from Latin America
Human Rights Politics and Policies: Lessons from Latin America
Professor of history and Director of the Center for Historical Studies Karin Rosemblatt presents two conferences examining Latin America's rich human rights history and highlighting intersections with movements for the defense of natural environments, democratic norms, racial and ethnic equity, and economic justice. The project also includes three articles and an edited volume that provides a definitive history of human rights in Latin America and corrects overly broad criticisms of human rights movements made by scholars who work on the United States and Europe.
Rosemblatt's research is supported by the Grand Challenges Grants Program, a Fearlessly Forward strategic initiative designed to accelerate solutions to humanity's grand challenges. Find news and read more about the project, including ways to get involved, on the Division of Research website.
