The Symposium is intended to foster the development of student scholarship and to stimulate debate on human rights challenges and opportunities. The selected student authors of papers will briefly present their work to a panel of faculty, practitioners, and students for feedback and commentary tomorrow. Commentators, which are members of the human rights faculty and practitioners within the Columbia community, have been paired with each individual paper based on the topic. The feedback will be designed to assist students in further developing their papers for publication. Following student presentations, the floor will open to the audience for continued collaborative discussion.
