[hre-asiapacific] Call for human rights syllabi

Call for Submissions:

TEACHING ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS

Joyce Apsel (co-editor with Helen Fein of Teaching about Genocide, 3rd ed.
2003) is collecting syllabi (including writing and other assignments and
short essays) for a new volume, Teaching about Human Rights to be
published by the American Sociological Association.  The goal is to
include a broad a range of courses taught in different countries and from
a variety of perspectives and to provide a needed resource with web-sites
and bibliography sources for teachers who are designing courses on the
subject.

The editor is looking for courses currently taught in a variety of
disciplines including sociology, history, literature, political science,
critical studies, law, public health, philosophy, drama, psychology, art,
and other disciplines as well as from an interdisciplinary perspective for
both undergraduate and graduate students.

The recent increase in courses on human rights and changes in the nature
of courses taught range from comparative perspectives to focus on specific
cases and from focus on human rights violations in specific areas to the
challenges of humanitarianism. Courses in human rights are taught in a
variety of area studies programs and in multidisciplinary programs such as
gender studies, peace studies, legal studies and genocide studies.

The editor encourages submission of present and recent course syllabi and
other materials from teachers in various countries and disciplines.

Please e-mail the course syllabi and other materials with your name,
department or affiliation, e-mail and mailing address to: jaa5@nyu.edu

or mail one copy of the syllabus and other materials to:
