Human Rights and Global Societies Coffee Chat

UNDERGRADS: join us for the inaugural semester of Human Rights and Global Societies Coffee Chats, a partnership between the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice and International Relations and Global Studies. Facilitated by undergraduate student leaders, each Coffee Chat will explore a different topic related to human rights, national identity, and cultural politics.

This week’s student discussion leader, Ulviya Chisty, has chosen three resources and proposed the following questions for discussion.

Discussion questions:

How does art shape our political space?
What examples have you seen when art made a difference?
What type of art is the best way to create awareness? Is there a particular type that reaches more people than the others?
Has social media changed the impact of art?
