摘要

This essay explores how student advocacy seminars affiliated with Scholars at Risk provide an ideal means for engaging students in experiential learning in ways that can critically engage with and apply scholarship on human rights. We explore two different versions of advocacy seminars we offer to our undergraduate students, focusing on similarities and differences in assignments, key concepts, and the development and implementation of student advocacy. Because these courses meet a general curricular requirement focused on integrative or experiential learning, our experiential approach to human rights pedagogy is geared to a wide undergraduate audience and not just to students majoring in political science or international studies. Throughout, we discuss ways that we have sought to ground our approach to engagement in human rights advocacy in cosmopolitan dispositions that foster critical approaches to human rights, guarding against the replication either of white saviorism or Orientalist thinking.
