Talk for the Education, Culture, and Philosophy SIGWednesday 29th April, 4-5pm in StAB (r433A/B). The event will take place in person. Everyone welcome! Dr Stephen Daniels will deliver a paper entitled: Conceptual Overreach and Human Rights Education: How Expanding Rights Talk Compounds Miseducation. Abstract In this talk I argue that the expansion of "human rights" language in public discourse to encompass an ever-wider range of moral and political claims poses a significant challenge for Human Rights Education (HRE) in schools. While the moral and legal authority of rights makes them rhetorically powerful, it also generates pressure to reclassify increasingly diverse — and potentially ill-suited— concerns as human rights issues. When that discourse is subject to what John Tasioulas characterises as "conceptual overreach", the distinctiveness and legal specificity that give rights their force are eroded. This challenge is acute because public discourse is simultaneously the environment that shapes HRE practice in important ways, the subject matter it must equip students to critically examine, and the civic arena for which it prepares them. As a result, forms of conceptual distortion are potentially reproduced in education compounding existing sources of miseducation about and for human rights. The consequence is superficial fluency in the rhetoric of rights without corresponding conceptual or legal understanding. These problems are not primarily failures of individual practice but products of reinforcing structural pressures and the response must, therefore, be structural too. I argue that conceptual clarity, legal grounding, and interdisciplinary coherence are not constraints on HRE's transformative aims but necessary conditions for their realisation. Moreover, they are crucial for cultivating the rights-literate citizens that HRE aspires to produce. I conclude by inviting reflection on what this requires in classroom practice and teacher education, and by arguing that keeping the concepts upon which public discourse relies in good repair is a task to which education is uniquely placed to contribute.

Professor Alison Phipps will deliver her rescheduled seminar entitled ‘Cultural Genocide, Cultural Justice: Notes Towards Intercultural Education after Gaza’. Wednesday 6th May, 4-5pm in StAB (r433A/B),Abstract Building on work for UNESCO on Cultural Justice, Barometers for Peace and the failure of Intercultural and Human Rights Education this seminar will explore some of the conceptual ground and thinking towards a new monograph entitled Cultural Genocide, Cultural Justice. It considers the experience Alison has had of 30 years of scholarship in the field of cultural and intercultural education, the effects of the Holocaust, Nakba, Srebrenica, Darfur, Tigray and now Gaza and the erasure of the Palestinian people. It looks at the qualities and conditions identified for rebuilding and restorative education and the place accorded to culture. In particular it explores the role of women in reconstruction work, and of language, building on the Languages Matter: Global Guide to Multilingual Education, launched on Mother Language Day 2025. The seminar will be exploratory and Alison will welcome questions and contributions from thinkers in attendance after a 20 -30 minute presentation of the ideas. Alison’s profile is available here: https://www.gla.systa-s.com/schools/education/staff/alisonphipps/ |
