Opportunity May 14th! RSVP Required!

Daniel Rothenberg, Managing Director of International Projects at the
International Human Rights Law Institute in DePaul University's College of
Law, will be visiting my course this Thursday, May 14th at 12:50. Interested
students are invited to attend. RSVPs to sifferdk@elmhurst.edu are REQUIRED.
Space is limited.

Previously, Daniel was a senior fellow at the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center
for International Human Rights at Yale Law School, an assistant professor in
the department of anthropology at the University of Michigan, a visiting
professor at the University of Michigan Law School, and a fellow in the
Michigan Society of Fellows. He works on transitional justice issues,
particularly truth commissions, amnesty laws, tribunals, and reparations. He
is the author of With These Hands and editor of the forthcoming Guatemala:
Memory of Silence, a one-volume critical version of the Guatemalan Truth
Commission report.

On Tuesday Daniel will be talking about rule of law reform in Afghanistan.

Daniel also directs DePaul's testimony collection projects in Iraq, known as
the Iraq History Project and the Current Violations in Iraq Project.
Together, the projects represent one the largest independent human rights
data collection and analysis projects in the world. I'm sure he'll be
willing to discuss this project with students.
