We regularly bring distinguished human rights scholars and practitioners to campus for one quarter to teach a seminar and offer a series of public lectures, thus advancing the Center’s goal of bringing theory and practice of human rights into productive and creative conversation. This visiting professorship is made possible by a gift from Richard and Ann Pozen.
