ABOUT
The Duke Human Rights Center at the Kenan Institute for Ethics is home to an interdisciplinary international human rights community at Duke University. Central to its mission is promoting faculty-led collaborations that both transcend traditional departmental boundaries and bridge the often separate spheres of research, advocacy and policy in international human rights, directly engaging graduate and undergraduate students in scholarship and practice.
