“This slate of speakers, representing the nation’s leading human rights scholars, is part of a two-year-long interdisciplinary CUSE Grant project on the role of human rights treaties in effecting societal change,” says Professor Arlene S. Kanter, Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence and professor of law, director of DLPP, faculty director of international programs and principal investigator for the grant. “Not only is this CUSE Grant project bringing to the College of Law leading experts in the field of human rights;  it is also bringing together faculty from throughout the University, including my colleagues Professors (Cora) True-Frost and (Corri) Zoli from the College of Law, Professors (Audie) Klotz and (Lamis) Abdelaaty from the Maxwell School, Professor (Michael) Gill from the School of Education and Professor (Anne) Bellows from Falk College,” says Kanter.

Additional speakers and events will be announced in the months ahead.

The CUSE Grant program was designed to be highly interdisciplinary, to spur growth in the research enterprise and to further support the University’s standing as a pre-eminent and inclusive student-focused research university. The CUSE Grant application and merit review processes were designed to emulate the most common practices found in leading external sponsors, with an expectation that CUSE-funded faculty members will seek extramural support for their developed projects and collaboration. The program’s ultimate goal is to increase both extramural funding and high-quality scholarly output, which in turn will increase national and international recognition of awardees, their programs and the University.
