Founded in 2012, the Vienna Master of Arts in Human Rights pioneered interdisciplinary human rights education by uniting the academic disciplines of history, political science, sociology, media sciences, law, psychology, philosophy and anthropology to transcend human rights challenges. Beyond teaching human rights as an interdisciplinary academic discipline, the programme seeks to accompany students on their journey to become change makers. The graduates of the Vienna Master form a powerful network of human rights professionals contributing to making the world a better place. The present volume contains a selection of the best master theses of the third generation of Vienna Master graduates. The contributions contained in this publication deal with a multitude of diverse human rights challenges around the world. On the one hand, students tackle highly emotive topics such as the death penalty in the USA, radicalisation in the digital age, business and human rights and the rights of indigenous women in Canada. One the other hand, several contributions also call for changes in the human rights system by addressing issues related to children’s rights in criminal proceedings, foreign domestic workers in Taiwan as well as popular rights and human rights protection in Switzerland.weiterlesen
