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.
The global perspective means taking into account the ways in which increasing global connections – in politics, economy, regulations, environment, conflicts, migration, and activism – affect how human rights are conceived and used, internationally, nationally, and regionally. “Agents” refer both to agents that have human rights and agents that are responsible for realizing human rights. “Indicators” are understood broadly and refer to practical and theoretical standards for the assessment of development on the field of human rights in different sectors. “Institutions” refer to the political and social infrastructure within which human rights agents act and which to varying degrees promote or inhibit development. The course also highlights how global and political changes affects who and what are regarded as human rights agents and institutions. The course aims to stimulate critical perspectives and reflection on consequences of different positions through the study of current literature from a range of research fields, as well as the study and assessment of actual cases.
