Conversations Series

Each year, the Human Rights & Social Movements Program will host a series of public conversations with leading scholars, activists, artists, and policymakers.

This spring, the Human Rights & Social Movements Program is sponsoring two conversations:

• First, we will be continuing last year's highly successful “The Activist's Studio: The Art and Politics of Human Rights” series.
