Andrew Carnegie Fellows Forum: Rethinking Rights and Who or What They Protect
A discussion with leading scholars on what rights are, how we define them, and our evolving understanding of how they can protect people and places
Given the growing epidemic of disinformation, do we have a right to anonymity online? Should we consider expanding our rights framework to encompass the natural world and better conserve our environment? In a globalized world with a changing climate and increasing mobility, how should we protect the rights of immigrants? What are the human costs of war, and how do we ensure the rights of civilians during wartime?
Watch four Andrew Carnegie Fellows explore how we have historically defined human and civil rights, and how we might rethink or broaden those definitions to reflect the realities and challenges of today’s world.
