In this course, we examine different creative forms of human rights reporting and evaluate their effectiveness in communicating the significance of human rights violations. As we do, we will think together about the challenges of reporting on such sensitive matters. To help us appreciate the range of effective reporting, we shall focus on at leastonetext in the following categories print journalism, the literary arts, the performing arts, the cinematic arts, the visual arts, and what we shall call the social media arts (for instance, an online exhibition). The course will deploy a range of approaches and assignments, such as lectures, guest lectures by famous human rights scholars/activists, museum visits, and projects.

One of the best professors I've had during my time at BC. Genuinely cares about his students and is extremely knowledgable in his lived experiences. Will challenge you to think critically and engage with the subject matter in a meaningful way, but very rewarding at the end of it all.
