| Description | The program provides an overview of historical and contemporary human rights issues and their impact on human lives in different cultural contexts, drawing from a wide range of interdisciplinary topics and approaches from the humanities and social sciences such as law, political science, philosophy, gender studies, Indigenous studies and disability studies. Our dedicated faculty are renowned for academic expertise, human rights activism and a passion for supporting students. Examine and critically assess the various strategies and mechanisms that have been used nationally and internationally to address topical issues such as social movements, domestic legislation, international statutes and human rights declarations and conventions. You’ll be equipped with tools and strategies for challenging forms of discrimination, subjugation and persecution based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, nationality and politics. Studying in Ottawa gives you access to local, national and international organizations working towards eliminating human rights abuses and striving for social justice.
