A series of posts written by Kent LLM students on the Law School’s Mastering Law blog, offer a fascinating insight into the breadth of issues studied for a module in International Human Rights Law.
The posts, available on the Law School’s Mastering Law blog, help showcase the range of human rights topics that students are able to critically examine from an international perspective as part of this subject. They also offer a personal and reflective account of four different guest lectures delivered over the last term, including:
- “The Corporation”: What’s the International Human Rights story behind it? by Michelle Staggs Kelsall from SOAS University of London
- “The Woman”: Redefining Gender Categories in International Human Rights Law by Sandra Duffy from the Irish Centre for Human Rights
- Encountering “the Digital Subject”: International Human Rights Law in the 21st Century by Professor Fabrício Bertini Pasquot Polido from the Federal University of Minas Gerais School of Law in Brazil
- “The Poor”: Human Rights and Poverty in the 21st Century by Dr Robert Knox from the University of Liverpool
The module is convened by Senior Lecturer Dr Luis Eslava. It is one of many modules that students can elect to study as part of the Kent LLM, a taught Master’s in Law open to law and non-law graduates. The programme enables you to broaden and deepen your knowledge and understanding of law by specialising in one or more different areas, according to your career interests and aspirations. There are nine pathways to choose from and the innovative nature of the programme means you can leave your choice of pathway open until after you arrive, with your specialism being determined by the modules you select.
