The Gladstein Committee
The Marsha Lilien Gladstein Visiting Professor of Human Rights
The annual visiting Gladstein Professor is chosen by the multi-disciplinary Gladstein Committee which includes faculty from the humanities, social sciences and law school. The Gladstein Committee is engaged in an ongoing process of assessing how UConn can best contribute to the field of human rights, and it seeks to create academic programs that build upon UConn's strengths in faculty research and archival resources. The Gladstein Committee advises the Director of the Human Rights Institute on a variety of matters, including faculty hiring, overall policy and direction, grant initiatives. It oversees the Human Rights Minor and its subcommittees review applications for funding from UConn faculty and students in teaching and research.
