This international workshop brings together scholars and researchers working on the history of human rights in the twentieth century. Our intention is to showcase ongoing research on human rights that traverses national histories and moral narratives. While all disciplines are invited to participate in the discussion, a special emphasis is placed on analyzing human rights as history.
The workshop is less concerned with the normative intentions than the actual workings of human rights regimes and rhetorics since the 1940s. The goal is to place the emergence of transnational moral and legal concepts within the context of the contingent and violently conflictual history of the past century. In particular, we would like to ask when, how and why human rights became the global currency of political claim-making and counter claim-making.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
