This syllabus is adapted from a course on science and human rights first offered under the auspices of the Council on Science and Technology at Princeton University (1996). This up-dated syllabus is designed as an advanced undergraduate seminar, organized roundtable-style, thereby depending upon full participation in the discussion of complex and controversial topics. It is also intended to enhance understanding of the international politics and law related to global human rights issues and to explore some of the ways in which human rights impinge on the applied sciences and the fields of technology and public health.
