摘要

Contributing to the critical human rights education scholarship, this article explores how situated assessments such as the Critical Response Paper, Opinion Piece, Human Rights Report & Strategic Plan, Medea Mock Trial, and Human Rights Council Simulation center positionality to invite students to grapple with the potentialities and limits of human rights. Situated assessments first ask students to employ critical feeling and thinking and active reflexivity to make sense of how their lives are intertwined with broader political structures. Then, they guide students to apply these dispositions to experience how different actors - individuals, activists, social movements, non-governmental organizations, states, and the United Nations, practice human rights globally. As a result, they foster knowledge from multiple perspectives about the ethos, mechanisms, processes, and institutions that circumscribe human rights, prompting students to consider power structures and historical contingencies while imagining radical futures.
