Suffering from the effects of the relentless pandemic, beginning in 2020, the year 2021 continues to prove how crucial it is to have conversations surrounding the concept of human rights. At the University of Dayton, we value the critical study and understanding of these concepts, whether it be through one’s own research or a class’s collective study.
