The State of the Field: Challenges &
Opportunities in the Study of Human Rights
Interest in the history of human rights has
grown enormously in recent years—but so too have the
debates and conflicting accounts of the history. This
workshop brings together leaders from a variety of
disciplinary orientations whose work touches on the areas
of human rights and history. The broader purpose of the
workshop is to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue to
better address the various meta-level problems,
methodological obstacles, and intellectual roadblocks that
have emerged within this relatively new subfield. Workshop
participants will have the opportunity to work together to
identify and propose the newest and most promising
directions forward.
