[hr-education] Human rights syllabi for higher education

A collection of working syllabi from human rights courses currently or
recently taught at colleges and universities in the US and abroad is
available on the University of California at Berkeley website below. The
purpose is to help expand the teaching of human rights in institutions of
higher education.

Instructors are free to use the syllabi as they are, to adapt them,
and/or to bring them to the attention of:
1. college instructors who wish to teach a human rights course;
2. college instructors of various disciplines who might like to create a
human rights segment within their curricula;
3. college students who would like to encourage their institution to offer
human rights courses.

The website contains about 50 syllabi from courses offered in human rights
in a number of fields including:

Anthropology
The Child
Cultural Relativism
Democratization
Disability
Europe
Health and Medicine
Humanitarian Assistance
Indigenous Peoples
Law
Literature
Politics/Political Science
Religion
Science and Technology
United States

The collection may be helpful also to professors at universities outside
the US who lack resources for creating courses in human rights; the
syllabi offer bibliographies, course structure, and models for course
development.

The collection was gathered for the AIUSA Human Rights Educators Network,
and posted by the Institute of International Studies at the University of
California at Berkeley.

Instructors who wish to have their course syllabi included on the website
can contact Rita Maran at: ritam@uclink4.berkeley.edu
