The program is housed at the University of Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg, South Africa and is a joint venture with Bard College. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At IHRE, we believe that the subject of human rights provides an excellent framework for realizing the goal of liberal education. IHRE aims to provide a challenging and\u00a0 rewarding experience in both liberal education and human rights education by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enabling critical and creative thinking about human rights;<\/li>\n<li>Developing a democratic understanding of people\u2019s role in society;<\/li>\n<li>Linking academic work with activism, advocacy, and building a culture of human rights;<\/li>\n<li>Implementing student-centered learning; and<\/li>\n<li>Establishing relationships of equality, mutuality, and exchange among African and North American participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We seek to promote a critical understanding of human rights as part of a broad intellectual and social movement, not simply as a code or set of laws. We believe that human rights is a discourse in transformation (and often in contest) which is best understood through a multidisciplinary approach extending to the humanities, social sciences, arts, and sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Each year \u2013 starting in July and ending in November \u2013 students and faculty from North America and Africa come together to participate in a deep and multifaceted intellectual engagement with human rights. In addition to a required <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihre.org\/academics\/curriculum.shtml\">core course<\/a> introducing the human rights framework, students choose from 12 or more electives exploring human rights from the perspective of a variety of academic disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>IHRE also opens up possibilities for substantive participation in human rights work.
