Abstract
Welcome to the USHRJ Blog
At a time when the principles and practice of human rights are under unprecedented threat, amid a confluence of global crises, our blog serves as a platform for critical dialogue. We aim to contribute to pressing debates, spotlight the voices of emerging and established scholars and celebrate the vibrant, interdisciplinary nature of human rights scholarship.
Unlike the journal articles published by USHRJ, our blog welcomes shorter contributions from postgraduate students, established professional academics and practitioners interested in writing about human rights issues. Please refer to our Submission Guidelines for more detailed information on how to contribute. Email ushrj@stir.ac.uk with your blog contribution.
