Here are some examples of human rights issues that we have undertaken in our courses, as illustrations.

- Scaffolding students through a simple analysis of the psychological constructs in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

The information we collect will be compiled and housed on the GNPHR website. All materials will be open access. All contributions will be credited/attributed.
We look forward to hearing from you!!
