About the Center for the Study of Human Rights Established in 1978 at Columbia University, the Center for the Study of Human Rights (CSHR) is committed to three core goals: • Providing excellent human rights education to Columbia students • Fostering human rights dialogue and innovative interdisciplinary academic research • Building the capacity of human rights leaders, organizations, and universities around the world Our approach to human rights CSHR was the first academic center in the world to be founded on an interdisciplinary commitment to the study of human rights . This remains one of our most distinctive features . While human rights has developed as a professional and academic field in its own right, human rights informs and is shaped by a range of disciplines, including political science, history, public health, sociology, anthropology, literature, philosophy, international relations, development, and law . CSHR is also renowned for bridging the study and practice of human rights on both a national and international level . As a field, the study of human rights is enriched by its engagement with practitioners’ perspectives. Simultaneously, the practice of human rights benefits from advocates’ critical reflection and analysis, bolstered by insights gained from academic research .

In Spring 2010, Columbia University elevated CSHR to the level of an institute. ISHR is committed to its three core goals of providing excellent human rights education to Columbia students, fostering innovative interdisciplinary academic research, and offering its expertise in capacity building to human rights leaders, organizations, and universities around the world. ISHR and Human Rights at Columbia CSHR was the first academic center in the world to be founded on an interdisciplinary commitment to the study of human rights. This remains one of ISHR's most distinctive features. We recognize that on a fundamental level, human rights research must transcend traditional academic boundaries, departments, and disciplines, reaching out to the practitioners’ world in the process, to address the ever- increasing complexities of human rights in a globalized world. ISHR’s emphases on interdisciplinarity, engagement, and globalism draw from and complement the strengths that have long characterized intellectual life at Columbia. ISHR’s distinction is also earned through its active engagement with the world of human rights practitioners.
