Trinity College’s Human Rights Program, the first human rights program at a liberal arts college in the United States, is committed to excellence in the study and practice of human rights. The Program seeks to foster critical debate about human rights problems, inter-disciplinary dialogue, and conversations that bridge the divide between local and global human rights concerns. Since 2007, it is affiliated and works closely with the Center for Urban and Global Studies.
Trinity’s Human Rights Program offers an unparalleled range of activities for an undergraduate institution: a strong human rights curriculum, dynamic lecture and film series, summer internships at leading human rights organizations, access to human rights activists and experts, as well as the opportunity to cross disciplinary boundaries and research cutting-edge human rights issues.
