For almost 35 years, different generations of UW students have come together to examine human rights policy at the national and international levels, exploring policy-making processes in Washington, D.C., and formulating individual human rights projects. The UW Bothell Washington, D.C. Human Rights Seminar is a unique experience allowing selected students to spend a week in the US capitol meeting with legislators, federal agencies, human rights NGOs, foreign embassies, and think tanks to investigate human rights violations and possible policy responses.
After returning from D.C. students spend the remainder of the quarter developing a research paper and presentation on a topic of choice, culminating in a poster presentation, co-sponsored by the UW Center for Human Rights, sharing their research with the community and celebrating their hard work.
This year, the poster presentation was held at UW Bothell on International Human Rights Day, December 10, 2024. It featured the impressive work of students exploring contemporary human rights issues worldwide. Please enjoy the following photos from the event and learn more about the program here.
