== Osher-Lifelong Learning Institute--Global & Local Perspectives on Human Rights ==
<br>This course is offered by members of [http://wiki.pghrights.mayfirst.org/index.php?title=Pitt_Human_Rights_Initiative Pitt’s Human Rights Working Group], an interdisciplinary collection of faculty, staff, and graduate students and community leaders working to promote human rights learning in our region. The course will explore how international human rights laws and institutions connect with local issues and popular movements in Pittsburgh and beyond. Readings and lectures will consider how international human rights laws have been shaped by popular movements, and how they shape possibilities for communities to address people’s basic needs such as housing, health, and overall well-being. Leaders from the Pittsburgh community will share lessons about important human rights struggles in our city, and we'll learn how work here connects with the global human rights movement.
