Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course undertakes an interdisciplinary analysis of the two-way relationship between human rights and identity and belonging within and across diverse modern societies. Human rights are founded upon ideals of universality and equality. As these norms encounter concrete contexts, real-world constraints, and complex articulations of identity (gender, sexuality, socio-economic class, nationalist, race/ethnicity, disability, intersectionality, political ideology) a reciprocal process of transformation occurs. It is the task of this course to understand and critically assess the empirical and normative dimensions of this process.
