HRST 301 - Writing Human Rights Wrongs (4)

This course scaffolds a student-led endeavor to showcase undergraduate research in human rights (broadly defined), including reading, reviewing, writing, and ultimately publishing submissions to Dignity: An Undergraduate Human Rights Journal, including print and on-line components. Students will gain a deeper, interdisciplinary understanding of human rights by reading professional journals and undergraduate research submissions on human rights topics across the disciplines. Students will hone written and oral communication skills while conducting and communicating original human rights scholarly content in collaboration with peers and faculty advisors at UNC Asheville and across the UNC system. In addition, students will gain experience both leading and collaborating in the production and dissemination of original research. Students will learn and practice organizational and managerial skills in an academic context. May be repeated once for credit. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Fall and Spring.
