Contributors discuss the theorecal framework and praccal applicaons of the human rights approach in the areas of diverse human rights orientaons to curriculum development; policy, research, and social jusce; travel study and exchange models; and special populaons. The authors press readers to address not only the human rights violaons reported widely in the media, but also more familiar issues such as child welfare, poverty, food insecurity, racism, and violence against women.
