JANUARY 16-20, 2025
This workshop builds on our past seminars that feature both eminent scholars and local activists to engage students in conversations and skill-building around the theory and practice of community action. Some questions we will consider: How do we mobilize responses to build compassionate and just communities? How do we integrate the personal and the political? What is the role of international human rights principles on the scale of a small local community?
This workshop will explore the relationship between many new technologies emerging across human society and people’s continuous demands for human rights. The course will examine how the impact of new technology is sometimes positive and enabling of human rights, sometimes negative and restrictive, and often ambivalent and uncertain.
The course will be taught by leading scholars from the University of Oxford and visiting human rights activists working on and with new technology of various kinds.
