Eric Bonds recently published an article, entitled “Grappling with Structure, Social Construction, and Morality: Towards a Human Rights Approach to Social Problems Instruction,” in the journal Societies Without Borders: Human Rights and the Social Sciences. In the article, Bonds makes the case for a human rights approach and situates it within the theoretical traditions more traditionally used in social problems classes. The article includes a sample syllabus and an overview of Bonds’ Social Issues class taught at UMW. The article can be accessed here.
