UCHRS Trip to Honduras
In January 2010, UCHRS undertook a week-long pilot project for J-term human rights studies and research. A small group of students, under the supervision of UCHRS Associate Director Monica Maher, had the opportunity to travel to Honduras, meeting with labor, women’s, religious, public health, and peasant rights leaders.
Come hear graduate student participants, UCHRS Associate Director, Monica Maher and UCHRS Program Coordinator, Lauren Herman report back and offer "Reflections on Human Rights in Honduras after the Coup."

Writers At Risk
This month, Scholars at Risk Committee member Jane Unrue, of the Expository Writing program, is featured in the Harvard Gazette speaking about the new Writers at Risk initiative that she has brought to Expos and the Visiting Writers Series.
Academic solidarity, and the Scholars at Risk program, is at the center of human rights work at Harvard, the most robust member institution in the International Scholars at Risk Network. Since 2002, Harvard has sponsored 20 Scholars, each year hosting between four and six writers, lawyers, physicians and scientists endangered in their own countries.
Former Scholar Shariar Mandanipour was the first of three writers to take up residence at Harvard as a Scholar at Risk. His most recent novel, Censoring an Iranian Love Story, was released earlier this year.
