Center for Human Rights

Center for Human Rights

Chicago's Human Rights Program provides a forum for the exploration of the core questions of human dignity and critical examination of the institutions designed to promote and protect human rights in the contemporary world. Drawing its faculty from across the University, the center is concerned with integrating disciplinary, thematic, and regional perspectives and aspires to educate its students as citizens as well as teachers, business people, or scientists. To this end, the center offers internships at various organizations in the United States and abroad and hosts a number of conferences, workshops, and lecture and film series throughout the year.
