York Human Rights Workshop

Information about all the events is available on Ruth Kelly’s Pure profile under 'Symposium'.

The York Human Rights Workshop is a space to think critically and politically about rights, both as applied practice and as utopian tradition, supported by the Centre for Modern Studies and the Centre for Applied Human Rights.

In 2023-24 monthly workshops brought together presenters and discussants from different disciplines to discuss work in progress, draft funding applications, and project audits. From 2024, the workshop has taken the form of a longer colloquium organised each semester. The emphasis is on sharing ideas and constructive, supportive, and safe feedback, contributing to the rigour of interdisciplinary work at York related to human rights.

We use the term 'human rights' broadly, to include human rights, feminist, social justice, environmental, indigenous and other forms of activism. Academics, professional support staff, postgraduate researchers and visiting human rights defenders are all invited to join as equal participants.
