Dear Yale students, 

I write to inform you of some exciting initiatives focused on the intersection of human rights as an academic field of study and the comprehensive development and implementation of human rights principles.

Confronting enduring problems of political repression, social inequality, inter-ethnic violence, and other human rights abuses demands substantive academic inquiry, as well as the education of a new generation of leaders sensitive to the complexity and interrelated dimensions of these problems. This will require systematic, sustained pedagogy in the field of human rights studies at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Join with us to bring a disciplined academic perspective to the definition, analysis, and implementation of human rights agendas.
