CSE Hosts Book Talk on International Human Rights
On February 5, 2021, the Center for the Study of Europe (CSE), an affiliated center of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, hosted a discussion on the upcoming book Reframing Human Rights in a Turbulent Era by Graínne de Búrca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law at NYU Law School.
The book offers a new account of the impact of international human rights law and challenges some of scholarly critiques of human rights as ineffective or imperialist. Andrei Mamolea, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Pardee School, and Boston University Professors Susan Akram, Ioannis Kalpouzos, Tally Kritzman-Amir offered comments.

The mission of the Center for the Study of Europe is to promote understanding of Europe through its cultural heritage; its political, economic, and religious histories; its art, literature, music, and philosophy; as well as through its recent emergence as a new kind of international form through the European Union (EU). Operationally, the center provides a focal point and institutional support for the study of Europe across Boston University through coordination of teaching missions, support of research, community-building among faculty and students, and outreach beyond the University.
