[Discussion] Human Rights in a Globalizing Era?

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Human Rights in a Globalizing Era?
Conference
August 4-6, 2005
University of Windsor
Windsor, Ontario, Canada

Organized by the Centre for Studies in Social Justice, University of
Windsor.

The worldwide expansion of new social and economic relations, new
patterns of migration, and the spread of North American consumer culture
have had radically destabilizing effects on the life-conditions of
peoples and populations around the world. The conference will consider
the diverse ways in which issues of democracy, practices of citizenship,
and social security articulate with human rights in this globalizing
era. It will bring together internationally known scholars, researchers,
and activists whose work addresses the foundations, history, politics,
or limitations of human rights and whose participation will assist in
redressing the intractable dilemmas associated with the processes of
globalization.

Confirmed speakers include:
Dr. Alison Brysk, Political Science Department, University of
California, Irvine, USA.
Dr. Tony Evans, Department of Politics, Southampton University, UK.
Dr. Vandana Shiva, Research Foundation for Science, Technology and
Ecology, INDIA.
