About IHP Human Rights: Movements, Power, and Resistance

IHP Human Rights investigates the historical and social contexts of human rights both as a concept and field of practice. The program takes a deliberately broad perspective examining the full spectrum of rights discourse, while placing emphasis on analysis of the root causes that incite human rights struggles in different locales.

The program builds off a multi-disciplinary framework of inquiry that ranges from political economy, history, and geography, to post-colonial and feminist scholarship. Key questions the program poses include: How did human rights develop historically as an idea and field of practice? What are the historical dynamics of power that shape local forms of social hierarchy, oppression, and dehumanization at the root of human rights struggles? What are the opportunities and shortcomings of rights discourse and human rights legal practice? How are grassroots movements, civil society organizations, and activists using the concept of human rights as a platform for change and transformation?

World Learning is a globally diverse community of staff, faculty, board members, alumni, students, and participants who believe that inclusive and equitable practices are at the heart of a peaceful and just world. Each of us strives to honor diverse voices and lived experiences, examine our own biases and privileges, actively work to address inequities in our structures, and foster a community of open dialogue. We are committed to acting with accountability, transparency, reciprocity, authenticity, and empathy.
