Human Rights Challenges and Possibilities in Trump Era

• In Event: 2154 - Human Rights Paper Session

Abstract

Right wing politics has emerged across the globe as nationalism has buffeted progressive forces. As these policies have strained both credulity and reason, it affords human activists, scholars, and and ngos a unique opportunity to forge new alliances and articulate more nuanced programs. Several possibilities of such will be explored in this paper that include the radically diverse crop of new politicians that have emerged, new platforms that are being developed and new ,methods of organizing are being encouraged.
