UPCOMING HUMAN RIGHTS SEMINAR SERIES 2012-2013
Each academic year, CIHR invites five to six renowned scholars and/or practitioners to address cutting-edge human rights topics. The focus of 2012-2013 Seminar is on the dialogue pertaining to the human rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) people. By dialogue, we understand an ongoing conversation with key constituencies (academic, activist, IGOs and NGOs, and local communities) to address homophobic and transphobic violence in all its manifestations, as well as ongoing discriminatory practices, and explore ways to combat them. More information on the Spring 2013 series can be found below or in our Events tab.
