HR-ISA

Welcome to the website of the new Human Rights section of the International Studies Association (HR-ISA). This section was created in March 2006 to provide a place for human rights scholars and teachers and others involved in the field to gather and interact. If you are currently a member of ISA, please consider officially joining the section. If you are not a member of ISA, you can find out more about the ISA here.

We have created an online discussion network called H-Human-Rights. With more than 900 subscribers, it is open to both section members and non-members. Please click here for more details.
