25 Years of Human Rights at LSE Conference

The conference, entitled Subverting Human Rights: Left, Right, and Centre initiates a series of conversations interrogating human rights in the wake of ongoing colonial genocides, climate breakdown, capitalist catastrophe, the rise of fascism, the instrumentalisation of gender and sexuality politics, and more. We bring together thinkers across academic and activist spaces over two days to reflect on how the politics of the left, right, and centre are being aligned and realigned in relation to human rights. We recognise that human rights has been an object of liberal capture, reproducing hierarchies of power, and yet at times has also emerged as a tool of anticolonial possibilities. The place and content of human rights in 21st century political struggles remains an open-ended question for us, and we would be honoured to think through this collectively.
