Human Rights: A Growing World Without Them

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures is organizing its 4th
conference at James Madison University. This conference will bring together
scholars/researchers from a variety of disciplines to address the sacrosanct and
universal principle of Human Rights.

On December 10, 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and
proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This important declaration
was written and implemented in the aftermath of the Holocaust, revelations
coming from the Nuremberg war crimes trials, the Bataan Death March, the atomic
bomb, and other horrors smaller in magnitude but not in impact on the
individuals they affected.

We are inviting faculty, students, and independent scholars and researchers to
submit abstracts/proposals, convene panel discussions, workshops, and encourage
participants to organize and chair sessions.

Send abstracts/proposals of about 300 words to Giuliana Fazzion.

Dead-line: Feb. 28, 2006.
