Events Overview

Events Available to the Campus and Community

The Center for Human Rights and International Justice brings leading human rights policymakers, researchers, advocates, and practitioners to Stanford to provide a critical avenue for dialogue, networking, and bridging study in the classroom with real-world application.

Events range from formal annual lectures that draw attendance from both campus and the community to more intimate career talks that enable students to hear candid stories about diverse career pathways in human rights. 

As with all initiatives at the Center, our events draw upon different disciplines to provide a human rights and social justice lens to a wide array of topics and cutting-edge issues.

Don't just protest outside - open doors to inform, educate, and change behaviors from the inside.

It’s nice to come to a panel like this and do a victory lap. You don’t often get to do that.
