The Age of Human Rights

This is a syllabus for the course "The Age of Human Rights" designed for the University College Groningen (UCG), University of Groningen. The syllabus is designed by taking into consideration the UCG’s focus on project-based education and it is further inspired by the design thinking approach to education. This course aims to do two things. Firstly, to provide a good knowledge base on what international human rights are and what mechanisms exist to implement, supervise and enforce them. Secondly, to discuss in a critical manner how international human rights thinking has become inextricably linked to almost all areas of international cooperation. Students are asked to critically analyse specific human rights issues from a multi- or interdisciplinary perspective, thereby drawing upon information from the various disciplinary fields that they have covered in their programmes. The first part of the course (6 sessions) is used to create the relevant knowledge base through interactive lectures. In the second part of the course (12 sessions), students are asked to work in small subgroups on particular issue areas which will be chosen in consultation with the instructors. The course concludes with a half-day conference on human rights in which the participating students act as panel members (this may be subject to change).

Toolbox learning to change through human rights

This toolbox provides a lesson plan and a portfolio assignment with subtasks on how to integrate human rights into a student's internship or work. It uses material on human rights advocacy and provides an up-to-date and comprehensive reading list. The central learning objective is the recognition of human rights and the consequent rights and obligations of professionals, governments and citizens. University professionals are expected to be critical individuals who not only have professional skills, but are also able to recognise when human rights are at stake and learn to recognise their own role and position.

Landscapes | A Human Rights Approach to Land - (Kirsteen Shields)

The second episode of Landscapes features an interview with Dr Kirsteen Shields, Lecturer in International Law and Food Security at the Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Security at the University of Edinburgh. Kirsteen was the first person to introduce me to the Land Reform debate happening in Scotland and has played a role in informing high level thinking on the Acts themselves. Particularly, we talk about the fundamental balancing act between rights to property and rights to pretty much everything else.

AI special with Pim Haselager (part 1) | In a Nutshell

Where did AI come from? How is it changing society? And why do we need a European approach to Artificial Intelligence? In today’s episode, we are tackling the most discussed topic in recent weeks: Artificial Intelligence. Whether people are remaking The Lord of the Rings entirely in the style of Studio Ghibli, power self-driving cars or ask ChatGPT to write their uni assignments, AI seems to be everywhere. But where did it come from? And how is it affecting society right now? Together with professor of Artificial Intelligence and principal investigator at the Donders Institute Pim Haselager, Antonia talks about the power and the dangers of AI, what human rights respecting AI can look like – and why universities have a more important role to play than they might think. This episode is part of a two-part special on Artificial Intelligence. Stay tuned for the second part, where we talk about the future of AI – and the next Vox magazine on Artificial Intelligence, featuring an interview with Pim Haselager.
