The Institute is dedicated to supporting the work of Webster University faculty. As we continue to grow, this space will provide faculty members with resources for teaching human rights and humanitarian studies, as well as links to research and funding opportunities.

The Institute would also like to feature the accomplishments of Webster faculty – including fieldwork experiences, new human rights courses, publications, and discussions related to rights and humanitarianism. Faculty members at all Webster campuses are encouraged to submit articles, photographs, and updates to humanrights@webster.edu.
