Class Description:
This 3-credit seminar will study the histories, philosophies, and activities of human rights activists and organizations. The course examines the theoretical basis of the human rights movement, the principles underlying key organizations in the human rights field as well as their strategies, tactics, and programs. The class provides an opportunity to put in perspective students' previous experiences as interns or staff with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the human rights field. The class will use case studies and other participatory methods to understand and to evaluate the work of human rights activists. We will learn about tactical methods including fact-finding and documentation of violations, normative campaigns, the use of social networking, and discuss the effectiveness and consequences of each method. The class will consider critiques of human rights practice including cultural relativsm and the asymmetries of power that affect relationships among human rights advocates. Students will consider the basic organizational structure and fundraising needs of NGOs. Students will design and present a research project based on their selection of in-class topics. Readings include material on the history of NGOs; roots and development of the human rights movement; analysis of key NGOs; advocacy within international institutions; and reports and publications from NGOs working in the field.
