Promoting Civil and Human Rights
The Klau Center engages its mission to promote civil and human rights in three ways. Through academic programs, we seek to make the study of civil and human rights a centerpiece of education at Notre Dame. Through support of research and curricular development, we seek to broaden our understanding of these issues. Through initiatives and public events, we seek to engage a broader audience and encourage innovative approaches to promoting human dignity.
