International Human Rights and the Death Penalty
Creating an undergraduate minor and seminar course on human rights and the death penalty
Cornell’s Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide is known for academic rigor, innovative reporting, first-rate training programs for capital defenders and a vast network of community partners. Building on the center’s strengths, this grant team is exploring the creation of an undergraduate human rights minor, as well as a seminar course on human rights and the death penalty.
While introducing students to the background and skills necessary for human rights work, the minor curriculum will also expose students to ethical and practical decisions of how to work within global solidarity movements. In the seminar, students will learn about the practice of international human rights work
