What are Temporary Human Rights Professors?

Temporary Human Rights Professors are academic professionals hired on a short-term or fixed-term basis to teach, conduct research, and contribute to the field of human rights at colleges or universities. Their roles may include delivering lectures, supervising student research, and participating in academic events, often covering for permanent faculty on leave or filling gaps in teaching schedules. These positions can vary in length from a single semester to a few years, and may also involve curriculum development or community outreach related to human rights issues. Temporary professors bring specialized expertise and fresh perspectives to academic institutions, but their contracts typically do not guarantee long-term employment or tenure.

What are the typical challenges faced by a Temporary Human Rights Professor in balancing teaching responsibilities with research and advocacy work?

As a Temporary Human Rights Professor, you may find balancing teaching duties, research requirements, and involvement in advocacy projects to be particularly challenging, given the limited timeframe of your appointment. Short-term roles often demand quick adaptation to departmental expectations, curriculum design, and student engagement. Additionally, you might have fewer opportunities to establish long-term research collaborations or to participate extensively in ongoing advocacy initiatives. However, these positions can provide valuable experience, expand your professional network, and offer a chance to make meaningful contributions within a focused period.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Temporary Human Rights Professor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Temporary Human Rights Professor, you need an advanced degree (typically a PhD or JD) in human rights, law, political science, or a related field, along with a strong record of teaching and research experience. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS), qualitative and quantitative research tools, and academic publishing platforms is important. Exceptional communication, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to inspire and engage students are crucial soft skills in this role. These skills and qualifications are vital for effectively educating students, advancing scholarship, and fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment.

The Levitt Justice Lab F2023: Human Rights and Civil Rights

The Levitt Justice Lab F2023: Human Rights and Civil Rights

Hamilton College

Utica, NY • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 18 days ago

Job description

Description
The Levitt Justice Lab includes four classes taken simultaneously, including an internship, observation, and reflection course. This coming Fall term the Lab's topic will be Human Rights and Civil Rights.
How have human rights developed? How are they defined and who enforces them? These questions are immediately relevant to migrant and refugee populations, the movement for racial justice, the status of indigenous populations, as well as the protection of civilians in times of war. Most basically, the study of human rights asks how we can guarantee personal dignity and the ability of all people to live free from persecution, discrimination, and bias.
In Fall '23, the Justice Lab will take up these questions historically and legally at the international, national, and local levels.
The experiential course (GOVT/PPOL 274) includes a half-day per week internship/observation with local agencies concerned with human and civil rights arranged by the Levitt Center with a community partner.
The Justice Lab is a set of four courses, taken together during a single term, organized around a specific theme. The four instructors in the Lab work together to coordinate syllabi and assignments and to provide students in the Lab with an integrated, interdisciplinary understanding of the topic.
There are no prerequisites for these courses. The Lab schedule allows for students to be free by 3:50 pm every day and can accommodate students with on-campus jobs.
The courses that comprise the Human and Civil Rights Justice Lab are:
  • Government/Public Policy 274W, Justice Lab Experience and Observation, Prof. Andrea Peña Vasquez, Post-Doctoral Fellow in Public Policy. Instruction in systematic observation through journaling and discussion. The experience takes the form of on-site research, internships, or field-studies. This course includes writing assignments designed to integrate experience and observation with material from the other three courses in the Lab.
  • Government 254 International Law, Prof. Alan Cafruny, Bristol Professor of International Relations. An introduction to international law. Survey of the nature and sources of international law, as well as the actors involved in making and interpreting it. Exploration of human rights, legality of the use of force, just war doctrine, war crimes, national self-determination. Case studies of historical and contemporary national and international conflicts.
  • History 255 Humanitarianism and Human Rights, Prof. Kevin Grant, Graves Professor of History. This course examines the historical development of humanitarianism and human rights between the late-eighteenth and late twentieth-centuries. It offers an introductory survey of the ideas and tactics in international protests over slavery, industrial working conditions, prisoners of war, and refugees. It considers how rights have been understood, contested, and revised in the legal frameworks of state sovereignty and international government. Additional thematic subjects include religion, race, gender, and the pervasive tension between universal principle and cultural difference.
  • GOVT 2xx The American Constitution and Human Rights, Prof. Frank Anechiarico, Maynard-Knox Professor of Government and Law. A review of the status of internationally recognized human rights in American constitutional law. Focus on the rights of minorities, access to health care, and support of indigent and disabled individuals. How does the determination of civil rights in constitutional law recognize the protections in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights? How do federal courts interpret the power given to congress to "punish... offenses against the law of nations"? Coursework includes development of an oral and written brief and case studies of local human rights issues.
