Faculty Fellows
The Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights includes a multidisciplinary group of faculty fellows who form the core of a vibrant intellectual community focused on issues of civil and human rights.
The institute supports faculty fellows’ teaching and scholarship, and connects Klau student affiliates with faculty fellows for research and mentorship opportunities. Several fellows teach courses that fulfill requirements for the Minor in Civil and Human Rights, speak at Klau Institute events, and supervise students engaged in research fellowships.
