Biographical / historical:

"The Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, staff and students to promote new understandings of and action on human rights. We engage with issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, income inequality, the environment, the philosophy and history of human rights, the literature that emerges alongside it, linguistic rights, and artistic responses in our research, teaching, programming and outreach. Our goal is to foster strategies and collaborative, cross-disciplinary and critical thinking about human rights in both local and global contexts. The Center is committed to social justice. In partnership with the FHI, we see the humanities as an essential frame and launch point for inquiry. We develop undergraduate courses and global experiences, sponsor campus-wide events that encourage awareness and activism on human rights and engage in long-term partnerships with community-based organizations."

The DHRC at FHI offers a Human Rights Certificate for undergraduate students, as well as a number of programs including the Rights! Camera! Action! Film Series, RightsWatch, and Bass Connection programs in Human Rights. Since 2009, the DHRC has run the Pauli Murray Project, a series of programs and events for the Durham community.
