SUMMARY:The Future of Human Rights with Alexa Royden
DESCRIPTION:GREAT DECISIONS TOPIC:   The Future of Human Rights: Defending and Expanding the Circle\nSPEAKER: Alexa Royden\, Associate Professor\, Queens University of Charlotte \nWho counts? It’s the defining question of our time. \nFor centuries\, the circle of rights has been expanding — from property owners to the enslaved\, from men to women\, from citizens to refugees. Now\, at a pivotal moment in history\, rights face bold challenges and new opportunities for expansion. \nIn this talk\, we explore the future of global human rights\, from rights currently under attack to new rights pushing the boundaries of personhood. \n\nBIOGRAPHY \nAn Associate Professor of Political Science at Queens University of Charlotte\, Alexa Royden is a scholar of human rights\, international organization\, and global conflict. In the classroom\, she teaches classes in international relations\, foreign policy\, international security\, human rights\, and political philosophy. \nCurrently serving as President of the Faculty\, Alexa spends her time persuading students that philosophy is fun and walking her dogs. \n\nNOTE: Attend in-person at PUMC\, no registration required.
