Dr. Bill Schulz, a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy
at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and former Executive
Director of Amnesty International, will be giving a lecture on "Restoring
America’s Credibility: Human Rights in a 9/11 World."
Dr. Schulz has written many books and articles on the subject of human
rights, has received many awards and honorary degrees, and serves as a
senior fellow at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C.,
helping to craft a human rights policy for the next administration.
This lecture is part of the Saint Michael's College Peace and Justice
Fall Series, entitled, For the Soul of the Nation: Re-thinking the Role of the
U.S. in the World. The Anti-Violence Partnership: A Community Collaboration at the
University of Vermont envisions the creation of a safe, just and civil society.
The AVP supports and sustains unified approaches within the community
and the world to understand and change the existence and acceptance of
violence and works toward its prevention and elimination. The Partnership
promotes, protects and enhances the quality of life of those victimized by
a culture of violence.
The Partnership subscribes to the belief that safety is a fundamental
human right and that violence is a violation of this right. This
philosophy is translated into action through the current and potential
links between the scholars and staff at UVM, local and state agencies and
the global human rights and anti-violence community.
