Senator Joseph I. Lieberman Conference & Lecture Series on Human Rights
Thursday, April 20-21
The purpose of this conference is to consider the relationship between citizenship and human rights through an interdisciplinary lens. The conference will consider “citizenship” in its broadest sense as a proxy for belonging, although the measure of belonging may be legal, political, or social and both reflects and compounds other sources of inequality such as discrimination on the basis of race and gender.
