TONIGHT-7:00pm (March 22)
Bayley Room (Beeghly Library-2nd floor)
Please join us for the 2023 Robert Kragalott Lecture on Genocide, Mass Atrocity, and Human Rights as we welcome Sarah B. Snyder, U.S. foreign policy historian, to campus where she will discuss “When, How and Why Has the United States Put Human Rights ‘at the Center’ of its Foreign Policy?” As early as Thomas Jefferson’s 1776 Declaration of Independence, Americans discussed their “rights” and those of others. Yet, attention to human rights has been mixed historically, despite the leading role that an American, Eleanor Roosevelt, played in drafting the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. We hope you can attend as Snyder shares about the history of U.S. human rights policy and how they have been put “at the center” of its foreign policy in the subsequent 60 years. Hope to see you there!
