Teaching Human Rights: Curriculum Resources for Social Work Educators

The editors, members of the Advisory Board of the Katherine A. Kendall Institute for International Social Work Education, have compiled a resource manual designed to help American social work educators develop course modules and content for teaching international human rights. Primarily course outlines and bibliographies from courses or modules focused on human rights, the book draws from educational programs for social workers currently being taught in the United States. An introductory chapter by Joseph Wronka gives an overview of international human rights documents and organizational implementation and is followed by a chapter examining social work roles in the field of human rights and the implications for social work education.
