Communication as a Fundamental Human Right

Communication as a Fundamental Human Right
The Human Rights Center UC Berkeley - Stephens Hall
Technologies have revolutionized the process of documenting, analyzing and communicating about human rights. But major innovations remain in the hands of those who are technology-savvy, and the challenge of making them accessible remains. This panel is rooted in the theory of diffusion and innovation to examine how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread in the field of human rights, and what can be done to increase early adoption of new technologies by activists around the world.

Panelists:

Phuong Pham (Human Rights Center)

Stephen Humphreys (London School of Economics)

Sasha Costanza-Chock (University of Southern California)

Olga Werby (UCLA Law Forum)
