Changing Perspectives on Human Rights: Lessons from a Long, lnternational Career

Franklin University Switzerland will host a series of events where both the Franklin community and the general public are invited to explore topics of high relevance in the contemporary world with renowned experts. This year the topic is Social Responsibility, an essential part of Franklin's mission.

Starting tomorrow with a Lecture by Dr. Marcia Grant, Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow and lnternational Higher Education Expert about "Changing Perspectives on Human Rights: Lessons from a Long, lnternational Career".

Concern for Human Rights and the idea that they could be protected and enforced started only after World War II. In her talk, Dr. Marcia Grant will examine how she became aware of human rights issues during her childhood and international career in higher education and diplomacy, and discuss the challenge to each of us to examine our values and how they impact our understanding and concern for human rights.

A small reception will follow the lecture.
