Human Rights Teaching Collection

This collection brings together teaching resources developed by the Human Rights organized section. Below you can find teaching resources covering a wide range of human rights themes, from international law to morality during war. Special thanks to Bethany Barratt (Roosevelt University) for connecting APSAs Human Rights organized section with Educate. If you are an Organized Section interested in collaborating with APSA Educate, please email Educate@apsanet.org

The Section on Human Rights was established to encourage scholarship and facilitate the exchange of data and research findings on all components of human rights (e.g., civil, political, economic, social, cultural, environmental), their relationship, determinants, and consequences of human rights policies, structure and influence of human rights organizations, development, implementation, and impact on international conventions, and changes in the international human rights regime. If you are an Organized Section interested in collaborating with APSA Educate, please email Educate@apsanet.org
