Human Rights in a New Key

Human Rights in a New Key

Welcome to Human Rights in a New Key! Our podcast centers student perspectives and voices, including contemporary student voices at UChicago and beyond, placing them alongside and in dialogue with those of activists, academics, and other human rights experts. Several of the episodes feature students, and all our episodes have passed through the hands of UChicago student co-hosts, editors, and reviewers, with the Pozen Center for Human Rights our project’s primary supporter. We hope to showcase a breadth of human rights issues, while simultaneously tying them together through lived experience and personal stories of our guests.
