Human rights education at Lund University : What are the challenges and opportunities for collaboration?
Författare
Summary, in Swedish
As of 2023, Human Rights is one of Lund University’s five profile areas. One aim of the Human Rights profile area is to strengthen interlinkages between research and education in the field of human rights and to facilitate collaboration between courses and education programmes at Lund University that explicitly or implicitly focus on human rights. This report is concerned with the latter of those two challenges and analyses obstacles and possibilities for collaboration. There are courses and programs within the human rights field on all levels at the university, but this study is mainly restricted to Master – or second-cycle – level. The data consists of syllabi for all relevant courses and programmes in the Spring and Autumn term of 2023, interviews with convenors of courses and programmes, and a questionnaire.
One finding is that human rights education on university level can be categorized into three types: Conceptoriented, Implementation-oriented, and Purpose-oriented human rights education. Regarding possibilities for collaboration, the suggestions in the report are designed to inspire short-term and long-term collaboration at all levels of the organisation. Specific suggestions for collaboration are given in five areas: 1. Internal networks and infrastructure for communication; 2. Course collaboration; 3. External networking and collaboration; 4. Pedagogic development and; 5. Student collaboration and extracurricular activities. The report ends with suggested steps toward a Human Rights Campus at Lund University
