PROMOTING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR 18 YEARS
As part of our mission to train students and advocates to document violations of human rights and to turn this information into effective action, the Human Rights Center works directly with a number of graduate student researchers on our ongoing projects. In addition, the Center awards fellowships to graduate students and advanced undergraduates from across the UC system to support summer fieldwork with human rights organizations in the United States and around the world.
Periodically, Center staff and faculty teach classes on human rights issues. Graduate seminars are offered through the School of Law or the School of Public Health. Undergraduate students looking for courses with a human rights focus are advised to review the Interdisciplinary Human Rights Minor.
