The HGHRP annual faculty workshop emphasizes connections between human rights topics and curricula across disciplines, with the goal of helping faculty to infuse their courses and service to students with human rights-based content. Relevant pedagogical tools will be given to participants. This workshop will also provide additional insight about the HGHRP’s Voices of Vigilance program planned for Wednesday, March 13th at 7pm. The keynote speaker will be Afghan refugee Gulwali Passarlay, author of The Lightless Sky: My Journey to Safety as a Child Refugee.  Workshop participants will receive a free copy of this book.
