Dear Colleagues, I am very pleased to announce the publication of a special issue on human rights education in the on-line Journal for Social Science Education (http://www.jsse.org/2006-1/index.html). This issue was co-edited by Dr. Karl-Peter Fritzsche and myself, and includes ten peer reviewed articles written by colleagues who are engaged in the theory and practice of human rights education. This issue is available online and free of charge. I encourage you to review these articles and to pass this information along to your colleagues. I hope that you will agree with me that this issue is a useful step in expanding the scholarship available on human rights education. The table of contents is listed below.
