Human Rights in STEM Education – a AAAS survey in collaboration with SENCER

The Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights and Law program (SRHRL) at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is seeking input for a project currently in development that will support STEM faculty to address human rights issues in their undergraduate teaching. SRHRL has worked with SENCER for several years through its Science and Human Rights Coalition. You can read more about connections between education, science, and human rights on the SENCER website.
