Teaching – autumn semester of 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect our courses and programmes. Teaching and assessment during the first half of the autumn semester 2021 will be conducted both online and on campus. From 1 November more elements will be conducted on campus – the current schedule is available on course websites and/or in Canvas.
In combination with studies of original works of central importance, you will gain knowledge about how current research constructs the place and role of human rights in modern history. Focus is on political and scholarly implication in our own time of how the histories of human rights are written.
