INTEGRATING HUMAN RIGHTS INTO YOUR
CURRICULUM: CASE STUDIES FROM ASIA
A ONE-DAY WORKSHOP ON TEACHING ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS
Saturday, May 3, 2008, 9 am – 4 pm
USC, Doheny Memorial Library, Intellectual Commons Room
The workshop will use case studies from Asia to enhance understanding of contemporary Asian
cultures and regimes, of international human rights standards and the human rights work of
governmental and non-governmental entities. In addition, participants will learn how to share
this understanding with their students. Participants will be provided with materials and assistance
in developing their own lessons to strengthen content competence and to develop grade and
subject-appropriate analytical and communication skills. Participants will become better
equipped to encourage tolerance among their students and to help students appreciate the critical
role human rights play in the lives of people here and elsewhere in the world.
There is no fee to attend this workshop, but a $25 deposit, along with the registration form
below, is required to reserve space. The check will be returned to you at the end of the workshop
or deposited if you do not cancel at least 1 week prior to the workshop. Participants will need to
purchase parking on the USC campus for $8. Materials, handouts, breakfast, lunch, and
refreshments will be provided to participants at no cost.
Asia specialists and human rights professionals will offer presentations exploring arguments over
the universality of human rights, as well as political rights, labor rights, and more. For the
