3rd Annual SHREI Symposium 

Saturday, JUNE 8, 2013

Symposium attendees will discuss, share, and learn about teaching human rights in a wide range of world areas, academic disciplines, and classroom settings. Emphasis will be on methods of incorporating human rights education into the community college classroom. Sample lesson plans, pedagogic resources and materials, and strategies for reaching diverse student populations will be shared.

SHREI OFFERING FREE ONLINE COURSE

SHREI is offering a self-directed, online course for community college educators who wish to learn more about the International Criminal Court (ICC). 

The course is comprised of a series of videos of ten high profile experts, academics, and activists who have worked or studied the ICC and are taking part in the Sanela Diana Jenkins International Human Rights Speaker Series, The International Criminal Court: The Next Decade. 

We are providing this course as a tool for community college teachers to use in their teaching (for example, to use excerpts of the videos in their classrooms), to educate themselves about the International Criminal Court, to participate in - or have their students participate in - the online forum that follows each lecture, or to enhance their own, self-directed professional development by customizing the course as they see fit. It should be noted that the course cannot be taken for credit, and that participation and/or completion of the course does not infer a relationship between the participant and Stanford University. 

Videos will be uploaded on Thursdays, and we encourage you to watch the videos and take part in the online discussion forums that follow each talk.
