Abstract

This New Year’s Eve, we have an anniversary to celebrate! Five years ago, the Leonard and Shirley Goldstein Center for Human Rights at the University of Nebraska at Omaha officially opened its doors. The Goldstein Center for Human Rights and the new Goldstein Family Community Chair in Human Rights were established in January of 2017, the result of a decades-long partnership with UNO Religious Studies. This faculty-governed Center is housed in the UNO College of Arts & Sciences and is composed of over fifty affiliated UNO faculty from six different Colleges at UNO. Since its founding, it has established a Human Rights Minor and worked with a dozen UNO academic programs as well as local, national and international institutional partners. In this time we have also helped to organize and co-sponsor the Goldstein Lecture on Human Rights, as well as the new UNO Human Rights Week and Human Rights Forums organized by the Goldstein Family Community Chair, Dr. Laura Alexander. We have since our inception supported the multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed academic e-journal ID: International Dialogue. To read more about our accomplishments over the last five years, see the attached document containing the previous Year in Review letters.
