Jennifer Curtis, author of Human Rights as War by Other Means, traces the use of rights discourse in Northern Ireland's politics from the local civil rights campaigns of the 1960s to present-day activism for truth recovery and LGBT equality.

First-hand accounts of resettlement are seldom heard from refugees with disabilities.

The U.S. antisweatshop movement is a major branch of Global North labor rights activism.

U.S. college campuses are places of pre-existing collective identity and dense interaction, facilitating antisweatshop mobilization. Collegiate apparel GPNs that …
