About Me

Lindsay: Santa Cruz, CA, United States; I am a doctoral candidate in International and Multicultural Education with an emphasis in Human Rights Education at the University of San Francisco. I also teach sociology part-time at Gavilan College. My research as a graduate student and my practice as an instructor harmoniously led me to teaching within a human rights framework. As citizens in the global context, I believe that we should be able to understand society from a critical, sociological perspective. Recognizing the commonalities between sociology, global issues and human rights lays the groundwork for developing attitudes of solidarity that go beyond mere charity. It is from this perspective that we are more likely to begin to understand how global issues also involve changing “our” world as well, and when we help to change conditions for “others” we are helping to change them for ourselves. This blog allows me to share my knowledge of Human Rights Education and how unification with the sociological perspective will help us imagine the world as it could be.
