Literature, Dialogue and Action: Curating a Human Rights-oriented Book and Resource Guide
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- For her capstone project, Brooke Beyer created a book discussion resource guide for student groups centered around human rights issues with the intention of galvanizing action and direct service. Inspired by her time facilitating a VSO Stanford Women in Law book discussion, she decided to expand this project by creating an anthology and curating lists of literary works based on thematic exploration of different human rights areas. Her capstone project also features a discussion guide for various texts and anthologies, as well as a guide on how to move beyond dialogue and get involved in direct service and community advocacy. She hopes this human rights and literature resource guide serves as a way to engage the chosen texts through a human rights lens and focus on exploring the ways in which literature can serve as a form of advocacy, prompt collective action and contribute to social change.
