Did you know that LAWS 5903 Z – Human Rights: Contexts & Controversies is available in the Winter 2017 term?
In this course, Prof. Christiane Wilke poses an important question: What do we do with human rights? Review critical approaches to research on human rights in a variety of registers. Topics include human rights & decolonization, knowledge production about human rights, Indigenous rights, crafting ‘new’ human rights, and legal consciousness. Issues include forced disappearances in Latin America, Indigenous peoples’ struggles for land and water in North America, and the ‘first human rights campaign’ in the Congo in the early 20th century.
This course is interdisciplinary and doesn’t presume familiarity with international human rights law and institutions.
