Single-Authored Books
Joyful Human Rights. University of Pennsylvania Press. 2019.
In popular, legal, and academic discourses a subtle but significant shift has occurred: the term “human rights” is now almost always discussed in relation to its opposite, “human rights abuses.” Syllabi, textbooks, and academic articles focus largely on abuses, victimization, trauma, and occasionally resilience. Yet, abuses or even resilience fail to encompass “human rights” or the lives of those victimized. Those victimized almost always experience a panoply of human emotions including happiness and joy, and human rights should also be discussed in the context of the most joyful of human experiences.
Human Rights Law and the Marginalized Other. Cambridge University Press, 2011 (978-1-107-01007-9).
An-archy and Justice: An Introduction to Emmanuel Levinas's Political Thought. Lexington Books, October 2003 (0-7391-0703-8).
Edited Books
Binational Human Rights: The U.S.-Mexico Experience. Co-Editor with Carol Mueller. University of Pennsylvania Press. 2014 (978-0-8122-4628-5).
