Graduate Conference on Human Rights: New Frontiers for Human Rights Theory and Practice
The postgraduate cluster of the Glasgow Human Rights Network (GHRN), based at the University of Glasgow, will be holding its first Graduate Conference on Human Rights on Wednesday 22nd May 2013.
The theme of the conference is inspired by the desire to explore new developments in human rights covering a broader range of human rights issues. We encourage postgraduates working in the area of human rights to participate in this one-day conference at the University of Glasgow in a friendly and supportive environment.
Topics will include, but will not be limited to, the following issues:
- Globalization and human rights
- Human rights, terrorism and national security
- Human rights and the neoliberal market paradigm
- Human rights and current case studies in self-determination (Scotland, South Sudan, Tibet, Quebec)
- Critical approaches to human rights
- The paradoxes of human rights theory and practice
