Photos from The Social Practice of Human Rights Conference 2013 THE SOCIAL PRACTICE OF HUMAN RIGHTS – ’15

We are convening SPHR-’15 at a historic moment.

Last week the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which sets out a vision for transforming our world. Pope Francis, in addresses before Congress and the United Nations, reiterated the appeals in his apostolic letters The Joy of the Gospel and On Care for Our Common Home for the global community to think of one world with a common plan.

This is our agenda for SPHR-’15. SPHR is a signature event of the Human Rights Center here at the University of Dayton. SPHR reflects the center’s mission to advance the theory and practice of human rights advocacy, promote dialogue, forge collaborative partnerships and focus on the systemic causes of injustice. The inaugural SPHR conference in 2013 focused on the dramatic changes impacting the global human rights movement, the emergence of dynamic new NGOs in the global south that are resetting the human rights agenda, the importance of aligning human rights advocacy with popular movements, and the impact of U.S. policies on human dignity and rights at home and around the world. There was a consensus among participants – it’s time for new thinking about human rights advocacy.

SPHR-’15 applies those lessons to the challenges and commitments set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To paraphrase Transforming Our World, adopted just days ago, we are convening the conference to help strengthen the spirit of global solidarity and promote the kinds of collaborative partnerships among all stakeholders that are needed to implement the plan.

SPHR is a multidimensional dialogue between scholars and advocates and between the human rights, development and ecological communities. We are looking for new approaches and integrated solutions to the immense challenges facing the global community. We are looking to sustain the dialogue.

The document adopted three years ago at the Rio+20 conference bore the title The Future We Want. The document adopted in New York is Transforming Our World. The message is clear: to achieve the future we want, we must transform the world we have. This is the message that will guide our conversations over the next two days.
