Going Global: Exploring Human Rights
in the Shadow of Nationalism
Friday, April 20, 2018
UCLA, Faculty Center
8:30 AM- 5:00 PM
The recent rise of nationalist politics demands that we, as a global society, reexamine our collective values, priorities, and aspirations for the future we hope to build and what we believe to be fundamental human rights. Graduate students across disciplines will present work on the meaning, purpose, and pursuit of human rights throughout history and implications for our future as a community of global citizens.
