CFP: Graduate Conference on Human Rights

The theme of the conference is inspired by the desire to explore new developments in human rights covering a broader range of human rights issues. We encourage postgraduates working in the area of human rights to participate in this one-day conference at the University of Glasgow in a friendly and supportive environment.

We are keen to consider abstracts that directly or indirectly address this theme.  Topics include, but are not limited to, the following issues:

• Globalization and human rights
• Human rights, terrorism and national security
• Human rights and the neoliberal market paradigm
• Human rights and current case studies in self-determination (Scotland, South Sudan, Tibet, Quebec)
• Critical approaches to human rights
• The paradoxes of human rights theory and practice

Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words by no later than Monday 14th January 2013 to Beth Pearson at [email protected] or Awol Allo at [email protected]
