Human Rights and Social Justice Concentration
CIPA fellows in the Human Rights and Social Justice concentration focus on human rights which, although often assumed to be universal, remain controversial in world politics. What are the political and economic constraints that stand in the way of the full realization of human rights? This Concentration explores the relationship between politics and human rights with a social sciences approach.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the Human Rights and Social Justice concentration take a minimum of five courses related to their specific area of focus. The course list below, organized thematically to facilitate course selection, is designed to help fellows develop a particular area of study, but should not limit choices. CIPA fellows may elect to substitute other relevant courses, by petition, with the approval of their advisor.
