Gather at 3:45, Event 4:00-4:45 PM

This event begins a year of celebration to recognize the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As our country celebrates labor day, we reflect on the meaning of worker labor rights as established in UDHR.

Professors Jackie Smith and Barbara Fick of Notre Dame and Professor Paul Mishler of IUSB will speak on the history of the UDHR and its implications for the rights of workers everywhere. Notre Dame employees will share their experiences working at Notre Dame.

This educational event calls everyone to reflect on how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can best be realized at home and around the world. All in the Notre Dame and Michiana community are welcome to this event

This event is sponsored by the Progressive Student Alliance, Dept. of Sociology, Dept. of Economics and Policy Studies, and the Center for the Study of Social Movements and Social Change.
