Scientists Working for Human Rights: Approaches to Effective Engagement

Saturday, February 19, 2011: 2:00 PM-3:30 PM
144B (Washington Convention Center )
Scientists and engineers are intrinsic to human rights work, and yet many are unaware of the opportunities that exist to integrate a commitment to human rights with their professional careers. The workshop will explore varied pathways for providing scientific talent, tools, and techniques to human rights work through professional affiliations, through classroom activities, through community involvement, and as a full-time career.
