Welcome to the Rapoport Center

The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice serves as a focal point for critical, interdisciplinary analysis and practice of human rights and social justice. Our goal is to promote the economic and political enfranchisement of marginalized individuals and groups both locally and globally. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about our work at the intersection of academics and advocacy.

The Rapoport Center deeply mourns the passing of our dear friend and constant inspiration, Sissy Farenthold.
