SUMMARY:Using Human Rights Education to Teach about the Israel-Hamas War
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nExplore how human rights education (HRE) can help teachers frame sensitive/controversial topics\, including the Israel-Hamas war. This interactive session will begin with a discussion of human rights issues commonly addressed in geography and/or social studies classrooms. Following this think-pair-share activity\, I will provide participants with a brief history of human rights concepts and outline a HRE framework. This portion of the session will include an introduction to key concepts in contemporary human rights discourse\, with a focus on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the Convention of the Rights of the Child (1990). Next\, I will guide participants through the process of using the previously outlined HRE framework to examine the Israel-Hamas war. The activity will include small group analyses of pivotal and contested events since this conflict began on October 7\, 2023. Lastly\, each group will share their evaluation of assigned events\, and all participants will have a chance to engage in a discussion of these conclusions. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School |World/International | Human Rights | Global Citizenship | Israel-Hamas War \nRoom\nColonnade \nMeet the Presenters\nSean Corrigan currently serves as Assistant Professor of Multicultural Education at Southern Oregon University.
