Call for Papers--

History of Human Rights Workshop. The Center for the Study of History 
and Memory
at Indiana University, Bloomington, will host an interdisciplinary 
workshop on
the history of human rights in the twentieth century on March 8-9, 2006.
International in scope, workshop participants will address the origins 
and fate
of human rights discourses and organizations around the world in the past
century. Some possible research topics to address: what groups and 
forces shaped
the struggle for human rights? How was human rights defined and 
redefined over
the course of the twentieth century? Where did its pursuit succeed, 
where did it
fail, and why? The workshop format will consist of intense discussion of
pre-circulated papers organized into thematic sessions over two days. We 
will
cover travel and provide an honorarium for participants.

Please send one-page descriptions of proposed papers and a current CV
