International Relations 337 - Intern'l Human Rights Advocacy

'This course examines how and why international human rights norms, laws, and institutions have emerged and how they are influencing global politics. We will examine closely the practices and influences of human rights advocacy organizations and the major international human rights political and judicial institutions. Students will be introduced to legal and political theories, advocacy strategies, and media technologies as well as a broad range of analytical approaches to evaluating advocacy campaigns. This class is linked (we share several class sessions and a final project) with Spanish 340: The Other in the Media: New Media and Otherness in the Americas.'
