Human Rights Consortium (HRC)

Description

The Human Rights Consortium (HRC) promotes and facilitates human rights research in the UK and internationally. It organises and supports academic, policy and practice-orientated activities on human rights, principally under four key themes:

• Understanding and Securing Human Rights
• Environmental Justice
• Minority and Indigenous Peoples' Rights

The Human Rights Consortium (HRC) of the School of Advanced Study was established to facilitate and promote inter-disciplinary research in human rights nationally and internationally. They bring together multidisciplinary expertise to provide a national and international collaborative centre for the support, promotion and dissemination of academic and policy work in human rights.

The Human Rights Consortium's mission focuses on enhancing the promotion of the human rights research and related activities of scholars nationally and internationally. It aims to build upon the existing successes, networks and expertise of the School Members’ Institutes and develop a particular forum of discipline-focused human-rights-led activities that would both benefit both the Institutes’ strategies and the School as a whole.

The Consortium’s mission is:

• To organise practice-oriented events on human rights
• To disseminate research on human rights
• To foster national and international networks of human rights academics
• To host visiting fellows working in human rights
• To enhance the teaching and learning environment for graduate students
