Overview
This module provides an overview of human rights and social justice issues in Ireland and around the world.
It addresses: > The origins of human rights,
> Their current status in international and domestic law, and
>How they are used to advance the goals of social justice movements.
We will look at human rights in theory and
in practice, exploring how standards are formulated in the first place and how those ideals are translated
into real change.
Graduates who have completed at least 15 credits of undergraduate electives offered by the
School of Social Justice will have this noted on their UCD transcripts as the completion of Structured
Electives in Social Justice.
