Faculty Human Rights Workshop


All Faculty and Staff:  Please join us for the Holocaust Genocide Studies Project’s first human rights faculty workshop scheduled for June 13th, 2005 from 10:30AM to 2:00PM in Monroe B on the Brighton campus.

The Holocaust Genocide Studies Project at MCC works each year to organize a series of debates, lectures, public addresses and films focusing on developing awareness of the ethical, political, and social problems surrounding past and ongoing acts of genocide and human rights violations around the world.

The June 13 workshop will focus primarily on the topic of integrating human rights issues across the college curricula, but will also offer an opportunity for building relationships between MCC faculty and staff committed to a strong human rights education.  In addition, the human rights faculty panel/workshop serves as the first event in the HGSP human rights awareness campaign that culminates this fall with an on-campus public address by Canadian general Romeo Dallaire, who was the chief UN officer in Rwanda during the genocide of 1994. 

The program will begin at 10:30 AM in Monroe B with a panel-led discussion.  After a lunch provided by the Holocaust Genocide Studies Project, the workshop will return at 1 PM for a more open-ended discussion of the role of human rights education today.

If you have any questions concerning this workshop, please feel free to address them directly to the workshop coordinator, Matthew Hachee, in the English/Philosophy Department (extension 3274).
