Welcome!
This website was created and designed in collaboration with our Be 205 students as part of a Fall 2013 service-learning project at Queensborough Community College, CUNY.
It is our hope that faculty and students can use this website as a general human rights resource and/or to supplement to the Common Read in the Spring 2014 semester.
We suggest that you begin your first visit to this website with a definition and reflection on human rights. You can do this by clicking the "Begin your journey here" button on this page. Faculty are encouraged to click here for specific assignments and class activities that connect to the content on this website.
On subsequent visits, you can click the above tabs to find our students' essays and presentations about topics that include modern slavery, torture, women’s rights, education, and economic justice. In addition, we have provided useful external website links to historic and current human rights heroes, lesson plans, and other classroom resources.
Best,
Professor Cheryl Comeau-Kirschner and Professor Jennifer Maloy
