This article overviews some of the available research on human rights education (HRE), subdividing into three main
categories: theory of HRE, implementation of HRE, and outcomes of HRE. The article illustrates that there is an
increasing literature base for HRE, based on traditions such as critical pedagogy, comparative education studies, world polity theory, textbook and curricular analysis, school change, classroom studies, adult learning, transformative learning and youth development.
