York Human Rights Workshop
Monthly York Human Rights Workshops, organised by the Centre for Applied Human Rights in collaboration with the York Centre for Modern Studies, will be starting in October 2023.
Each workshop will bring together presenters and discussants from different disciplines to discuss work in progress, draft funding applications, and project ideas. We will use this space to think critically and politically about rights, both as applied practice and as utopian tradition.
We use the term 'human rights' broadly, to include:
- human rights
- feminist practice and activism
- social justice
- environmental practice and activism
- indigenous and other forms of practice and activism
The emphasis will be on sharing ideas and constructive, supportive, and safe feedback, contributing to the rigour of interdisciplinary work at York related to human rights.
Academics, professional support staff, postgraduate researchers and visiting human rights defenders are all invited to join as equal participants.
This monthly seminar series will take place on the second Wednesday of each month, from 3pm to 5pm.
