Objectives The courses are designed to promote a critical understanding of the human rights discourse. The programs cover modern human rights institutions and how these work for state and non-state actors. The courses also explore the political, historical and philosophical development of ideas about human rights which underpin current systems. In recognition of the importance of a globalised understanding of human rights, the courses also explore ideas about human rights from multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural and multi-religious perspectives, as well as looking at the roles that social movements, grass-roots campaigns and other actors have played in the development of human rights ideas and practices. The courses take a problematising approach to education, provoking students to engage with a range of ideas and perspectives and to develop their own positions.
