The Institute for Human Rights together with the IPFW School of Education is issuing a call for papers on the roles played by the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights and by the U.N. Declaration and Convention on the Rights of the Child in moral education. We also invite educators to propose demonstrations and critical discussion of human rights pedagogy in secondary and primary schools.

Potential contributors—from education, moral philosophy, European studies, and American studies—are invited to submit two-page proposals for conference research papers. Paper proposals will be competitively reviewed. The proceedings, including discussions of pedagogical demonstrations, will be published by the Institute with the support of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. The deadline for all proposals is December 1, 2005.
