THE POZEN FAMILY CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY

IN 1997 a group of faculty from across the University of Chicago believed that the theory and practice of human rights would benefit from engagement across disciplines and professional schools and that the study of human rights should be part of a liberal arts education. With their shared enthusiasm for the project, the support of the Provost, and a grant from the MacArthur Foundation, the University of Chicago Human Rights Program began. In 2014 the Human Rights Program was renamed the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights to honor the generous gift from Ann and Richard Pozen, AB’69.

THIS WEEKEND, the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights caps its yearlong 20th Anniversary celebration. Over the past two decades, human rights education at the University of Chicago has grown to include a robust set of courses taught by faculty from many disciplines, a Human Rights Minor in the College, a Human Rights Core Civilizations sequence, and a Human Rights Study Abroad program in Vienna, Austria.

The Pozen Center has hosted distinguished human rights scholars and practitioners such as Justice Albie Sachs, Elizabeth Borgwardt, and Monica McWilliams as Pozen Visiting Professors in Human Rights. The Center also supports faculty and graduate students with funding for projects, grants, fellowships, and lectureships each year.

MORE THAN 450 STUDENTS have participated in the Human Rights Internship Program, which provides a $5,000 stipend for summer human rights work. Internship alumni include six Rhodes Scholars, eight Truman Scholars, and other winners of awards and fellowships. Alumni have gone on to work as physicians, teachers, filmmakers, lawyers, public policy analysts, and professors.

FOR OUR THIRD DECADE, the Pozen Center is pleased to announce the creation of a Human Rights Laboratory, led by its inaugural Director of Human Rights Practice Alice Kim. With generous support from Ann and Richard Pozen, the Lab will be a home to research projects that explore critical dimensions of human rights thought and practice.
