[00:00:04.410]
Hello everyone, I'm really excited
[00:00:06.030]
to tell you about this new course
[00:00:07.286]
that I will be offering for the honors program
[00:00:09.360]
in the fall of 2020.
[00:00:10.822]
As the name implies we will examine many
[00:00:13.690]
of the controversies and issues surrounding
[00:00:15.900]
the growing field of international human rights.
[00:00:17.940]
We will also look at how power dynamics come into play
[00:00:21.420]
and decision making around human rights.
[00:00:24.410]
The role of international organizations
[00:00:26.300]
such as the United Nations.
[00:00:27.841]
And examine specific human rights issues
[00:00:30.300]
such as humanitarian intervention in cases of genocide.
[00:00:34.639]
The protection of vulnerable groups
[00:00:38.110]
such as minorities and refugees.
[00:00:40.511]
Issues of human rights that have arisen
[00:00:44.290]
due to climate change such as water insecurity.
[00:00:47.980]
And human rights issues due to the current
[00:00:51.410]
global pandemic that we are experiencing right now.
[00:00:54.700]
We will do all this through guided class discussions
[00:00:57.480]
and guided simulations
[00:00:58.900]
in which I assign you the role of a country
[00:01:01.880]
or other international actor.
[00:01:03.840]
And then you make arguments as if you are that actor.
[00:01:07.320]
So it should be a great semester
[00:01:08.730]
and I look forward to meeting many of you in the fall.
[00:01:10.820]
Thank you.
