Citizenship within our current international system signifies being fully human, or being worthy of fundamental human rights. For some vulnerable groups, however, this form of political membership is limited or missing entirely, and they face human rights challenges despite a prevalence of international human rights law. These protection gaps are central to hierarchies of personhood, or inequalities that render some people more "worthy" than others for protections and political membership. As a remedy, Lindsey N.

This book focuses on human rights education (HRE) in higher education, with an emphasis on supporting undergraduate education for social justice and global citizenship at the institutional, classroom, and community levels. Drawing from the work of human rights scholars and advocates at Webster University, Kingston begins a critical discussion about the potential of HRE on college campuses and beyond. Chapter contributors address the institutional issues inherent to building a “human rights campus,” promoting just governance models, facilitating student research, and fostering inclusive campus communities. They further explore opportunities within the classroom by highlighting dynamic cou...

" The story of five Headlee brothers and two of their uncles who left northern New Jersey between 1775 and 1800, their trials, tribulations, wanderings and their million + descendants. Joshua M. was in Burke Co., North Carolina by 1782, John was there before 1790 and Elisha and Thomas joined them shortly thereafter. John, Joshua and Thomas in 1805 joined Ephraim who had migrated to Perry township, Greene County, PA in 1795. Elisha went to Tennessee then Greene County, Missouri by 1836.

Ephraim's descendants mostly remained in Perry township for a century. Most of the other three brothers' families moved farther west by 1830." -- t.p.
"Wir schaffen das" war der wohl meist zitierte Satz von Kanzlerin Angela Merkel im Jahr 2015. Knapp eine Million Asylsuchende sind im vergangenen Jahr nach Deutschland eingereist. Und nicht zufällig erinnert der Ausspruch Merkels an Obamas Credo "Yes, we can" zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit. Die Bilder vom Münchner Hauptbahnhof, an dem die Geflüchteten von Einheimischen mit Luftballons und Geschenken willkommen geheißen wurden, dominierten wochenlang die Medien – es herrschte Ausnahmezustand.
