TAnt 141 - Human Rights and Wrongs:Anthropological Explorations

Institution:

SUNY at Albany

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to provide an overview of human rights and anthropology from theoretical and historical points of view and from the vantage point of engagement and practice.? Using a critical approach, we will move away from the notion of a set category or monolithic legal structure toward an understanding of aflexible and elastic set of conceptual frameworks used to accomplish transitions, make claims and gain access to resources.? In doing so, we will consider the increasing transnationalization of rights discourse and the growing terrain in which claims, legal and otherwise, are made through it. A series of international and national case studies will be examined. Open to Honors College students only.
