      • Undergraduate Human Rights Fellowships

        This year, in partnership with the Program on Human Rights, we launch our new Human Rights Fellowship program. Offered to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors, it is our hope that these fellowships will encourage students to build human rights work into their future careers, whether those careers are in academic life, in governmental or intergovernmental organizations, as activists, or as legal practitioners. Application deadline: Jan 15, 2010. Read more.



          

      • Ethics@Noon

        Most Friday's during the year (from 12:00-1:05 pm), the Center for Ethics in Society sponors an informal "brown-bag" ethics lecture and discussion. These talks attract undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and community members. The talks are informal and there is plenty of time for discussion. Starting winter quarter, Ethics@noon will be offered as a 1-unit course for undergraduates (ETHICSOC 10). For information on this new course or on this year's schedule of speakers, click  here.
