Trump Demands Major Changes in Columbia Discipline and Admissions Rules A letter outlining “immediate next steps” arrived less than a week after the administration said it was canceling $400 million in grants and contracts.

I am absolutely delighted to share that my article on Tackling Ignorance about Law in Human Rights Education has just been published open access @berj-2025.bsky.social. Looking forward to feedback 🙏

bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/YEVSTX...

Abstract This paper aims to unpack potential reasons why law and legal knowledge—despite its apparent importance and value in teaching and learning about human rights—appears to be largely conspicuous by its absence in human rights education (HRE) in schooling. Drawing on a range of contextually relevant categories of ignorance identified from discourse on epistemologies of ignorance, it argues that deficits in legal literacy on the part of the wide range of stakeholders involved in HRE can manifest in multiple guises, including: ignorance as a strategic choice for political ends; ignorance as a conscious, rational and practical (not necessarily self-interested) choice; and inadvertent ignorance or such that is unconsciously selective in nature. By approaching the issue from this novel standpoint, the overarching aim of the paper is to illuminate the prospects and possibilities for tackling instances of such ignorance going forward.

New open access article in BERJ from the brilliant @suzanneegan.bsky.social talking about the reasons underlying the absence of law & legal knowledge from human rights education. Definitely well worth a read 👏

Parker’s argument inspired me in writing my recent piece - just published in the latest volume of @hrer.bsky.social “Addressing Human Rights Education’s Curriculum Problem: An Interdisciplinary Solution” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/25355406.2025.2464118?src=exp-la

No surprise to see Walter Parker’s hugely thought provoking article HRE’s “curriculum problem” coming in at the top of @hrer.bsky.social most cited articles👇🏼

Such an impt pt: We need to equip people with "practices (skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits of mind) that allow them to exert agency over technology." This aligns with John's comment on the pod that adults who use genAI well already have critical thinking along w relevant knowledge.

This is the 1st time, as far as I can gather from my own research, that the CESCR has raised the issue of children in care from families in poverty in relation to any country. The UK Gov admitted failure, and that it has to change. It's something to hold them to account in the future. #CESCR2025 🇬🇧
