45: Human Rights

Jack Donnelly, University of Denver, jdonnell@du.edu

We will be trying to construct a set of panels that, taken together, present a reasonable sample of the range and character of the scholarly work currently being undertaken in our interdisciplinary field. The theme of “hard times,” however, has special immediate relevance to both the practice and the study of human rights. Proposals that address economic rights, the impact of the global economy on human rights of all types, and other forms of “hard times” for human rights (e.g., the war on terror) will receive special attention.
