A Community Engaged University and Human Rights Center

Our commitment to community engagement builds on the esteemed UNO Goldstein Lecture on Human Rights through events and educational content, coordinated primarily by the GCHR and the Goldstein Family and Community Chair in Human Rights.

  • Human Rights Week
    A series of events every fall is intended to educate the community about human rights concerns and highlight the work of scholars, students, and community organizations that promote human rights.

  • Human Rights Forum
    An educational series held twice each semester that brings a panel of experts to discuss contemporary pressing issues in human rights.

  • Human Rights in the Time of COVID-19 | Human Rights Learning Modules
    Special educational videos intended to provide both introductions and deep dives on human rights topics, featuring GCHR-affiliated faculty and community figures. They are encouraged to use in the classroom or at community events and meetings.

  • Landscapes of Belonging: Refugee Experiences in Nebraska and Beyond
    A series of events that aims to provide scholarly knowledge on refugees in Nebraska and global refugee trends through research, teaching, and community engagement.
