SIT Study Abroad: IHP Human Rights: Movements, Power, and Resistance

Investigate the history and politics of global human rights movements across four countries. Begin in New York City, connecting with groups working for immigrant and gender rights and against racism. Continue in Nepal, Jordan, and Chile, where you will meet scholars, parliamentarians, grassroots leaders, and refugees. Explore how communities advance human dignity, resist oppression, and push for justice, while considering pathways to lasting, rights-based change.


Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

EARN A MINOR

You can pursue a minor in human rights or peace & justice to explore the deep-rooted causes of injustice and examine how communities resist oppression, uphold human dignity, and work toward more just and equitable societies.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
 

"When applying, SIT stood out because of its commitment to experiential learning. In this one semester, I felt I had learned more than in my entire academic career at college. Having the opportunity to critically engage with communities on the ground and actually see real-world applications makes concepts and ideas more powerful, instead of a traditional classroom experience."
