I look forward to seeing you over the next couple of weeks – if we haven’t met yet, I encourage you to schedule an appointment to chat. I’m always interested in hearing more about your academic and career goals.
A new Minor in Human Rights Advocacy will be launched this fall. Please note that the deadline to apply is Wednesday, March 23. Attend one of two information sessions to discuss the minor and answer any questions you may have.
Thursday, 3/10 at 12:00pm in Allbritton 311
Monday, 3/21 at 12:00pm in Allbritton 311
The Minor combines rigorous coursework with concrete, practical training under the guidance of the team of UNHR supervisors. These supervisors developed and oversaw the human rights clinics at Harvard and Stanford Law Schools prior to forming UNHR to expand clinical training in human rights advocacy beyond the law school setting.
Students interested in the program will be required to enroll in a gateway course on human rights standards, seminars on human rights advocacy and on writing for advocacy, as well as other related courses chosen by each student in accordance with their particular area or areas of interest. Students admitted to the Minor will participate in intensive training and then be expected to travel (with a supervisor) to a location of rights abuse to work with the affected community. All costs of the program will be paid by UNHR and Wesleyan.
More information about the minor, as well as the application form, is available here.
Greetings, Class of 2025
I hope this post finds you well. We are at a point in the semester where your classes may start to feel a bit tougher, the weather isn’t getting warm quickly enough, and we can’t pull our eyes away from the updates on the Ukraine/Russia crisis. As always, please remember there are many supports in place on campus to help you with whatever challenges you face and whatever you may be feeling. As your class dean, I’d be happy to meet with you to discuss these resources (calendly.com/deankellydunn).
