and contemporary human rights and social justice issues and their impact on human lives in different contexts. These courses are interdisciplinary, drawing from multiple disciplines from the humanities and social science, but also examine issues through paradigms that transcend individual disciplines. Our program has flexible pathways and is offered as a General, Honours, and Combined Honours program. Our program is staffed by a team of dedicated faculty renowned for academic expertise, human rights activism, and passion for supporting students.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human rights contribute, through theory and practice, to people\u2019s struggles to overcome institutional and everyday inequities. Our program equips students with legal, social and political tools and strategies for challenging forms of discrimination, subjugation and persecution, such as those based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, or political opinion, as well as historical practices of colonialism and exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet Your Professors \u2014 Paul Mkanda\u0175ire \u2014 Human Rights and Social Justice\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6-gA0zwqgv8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Human Rights and Social Justice at Carleton \u2014 Dania&amp;apos;s story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PVyZO55RFTI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program draws from a wide range of interdisciplinary topics and approaches from the humanities and social sciences such as; law, political science, philosophy, gender studies, indigenous studies, and disability studies to provide an understanding of historical and contemporary human rights issues and their impact on human lives in different cultural contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our program offers students an opportunity to examine and critically assess the various strategies and mechanisms that have been used nationally and internationally to address these issues, including social movements, domestic legislation, international statutes and human rights declarations and conventions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well, our program will look at reporting requirements, treaty-monitoring bodies and human rights committees. Students will also have opportunities to discuss and evaluate the challenges and prospects for strengthening human rights and for meeting future challenges to advance equality and social justice.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"program-goals\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary goal for Human Rights and Social Justice at Carleton is to advance an interdisciplinary approach to understanding Human Rights and Social Justice throughout the world. Students will leave our program with a wealth of knowledge that will enable them to succeed in their future endeavors whether that be in a profession or continuing to pursue further education. Human Rights and Social Justice begins by teaching students necessary skills and knowledge to help them develop a holistic understanding of Human Rights and Social Justice, and later in the program students are encouraged to explore and learn about specific areas that they are interested in. Carleton\u2019s Human Rights and Social Justice program is comprehensive and enables students to study human rights through five dimensions: Critical Principles; Human Rights Laws and Institutions; Political Repression; Social Justice; and Marginalized Groups. Students are required to take various courses in Human Rights and Social Justice, Law, Philosophy, and Political Science; however, they must also take electives from some of the following categories; Anthropology, History, Indigenous Studies, Sociology, Social Work, Sexuality Studies, and Women and Gender Studies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"skills-and-knowledge-you-will-gain-from-human-rights-and-social-justice\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skills and Knowledge you will gain from Human Rights and Social Justice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1) Demonstrate strong abilities to apply different perspectives on human rights nationally and internationally, including the recognition of instances where human rights are used to justify inequalities and injustices.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) Analyze issues related to human rights as an interdisciplinary object of study that has emerged out of historical and contemporary local\/global struggles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) Engage responsibly in human rights advocacy in Canada and globally.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4) Appraise and interpret contemporary debates related to the interconnection of social, economic, civil, political and cultural rights.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5) Develop and conduct feasible research projects in the field of human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6) Critically assess and evaluate arguments and how they are substantiated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7) Demonstrate an ability to engage ethically while working with people from diverse backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8) Show competent oral communication skills, demonstrating a capacity to clearly and convincingly express ideas and arguments with attention to audience needs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9) Show competent written communication skills, demonstrating a capacity to clearly and convincingly express ideas and arguments with attention to audience needs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10) Develop professional skills, including organizational skills, interpersonal skills, seeking and responding to feedback (practicum and independent study options are available).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"program-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The link below is the Carleton University Human Rights and Social Justice Undergraduate Calendar which is a useful resource for all students in the program or entering the program.

Students in the Minor add to their field of study or thematic major a layer of critical foundational understanding of historical and contemporary human rights issues and their impacts on human lives. Because human rights issues cut across all aspects of our life, current students in the Minor come from a diverse range of academic programs across campus ranging from Social Work and Women and Gender Studies to Health Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"learning-opportunities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty in the program pursue various teaching approaches unified by the drive to foster high-quality teacher-student interaction and respectful and meaningful peer support and interaction. The program has one of the most culturally diverse student bodies on campus, providing an appropriate atmosphere for more informed, passionate, and balanced exchange of ideas about human rights and social justice, both inside and outside of the classroom. At Carleton, human rights education is more than an intellectual pursuit; it also involves championing human rights causes through activism both on campus and beyond the bounds of Carleton to improve real life conditions that cause human rights violations, advocate for fair legal reforms, and fight for equality and social justice. Our third- and fourth-year practicum courses also serve as a bridge between the classroom and the real world, allowing our students from the program to apply classroom theories in a work setting and bringing those community experiences back to class to enrich theoretical conversations. Furthermore, students in the program also can improve their research skills in the summer by working as research assistants under the supervision of research faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please reach out to the program or any of the faculty members to inquire about potential research opportunities that are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"apply\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in applying for Human Rights and Social Justice, please apply to this one of a kind program that will give you the knowledge and experience that will help you succeed in your future career and endeavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all information on how to apply please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/\">https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/<\/a>&nbsp;
