This workshop offers UConn graduate students a unique opportunity to learn about human rights practice from Charlie Clements, a notable human rights campaigner/practitioner on the global stage.

As a medical practitioner during the civil wars in Central America in the 1980s, Charlie inspired an Oscar-winning documentary about his work.
