Pozen Family Center for Human Rights

This year's graduating UChicago human rights majors have spent the year hard at work on original theses and capstone projects that make original contributions to human rights discourse. On May 23, stop by the Quad Club Library to hear their five-minute "lightning talks" about what their research uncovered. A celebratory reception will follow.

For current human rights majors, the symposium is a great way to start thinking about possible directions for your own thesis or capstone.

For students considering a human rights major, it's a perfect opportunity to learn about the many forms undergraduate human rights scholarship can take.

And for all UChicago community members, it's a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of soon-to-be-graduates' with a commitment to using the human rights lens to understand and change the world.

This Thursday, join Pozen Visiting Professor and Human Rights Lawyer Julia Hall for "No Lessons Learned: The Throughline from Guantánamo Bay to CECOT in El Salvador." Hall will draw on her extensive work on the "war on terror," including her time as a legal observer at the Guantánamo Bay detention facility, connecting what she saw there to the Trump administration's illegal transfer of Venezuelan men to CECOT, a maximum security prison in El Salvador.

Hall's talk will take place on May 14 at 12:15pm at the Law School
