Monographs
Joyful Human Rights. Forthcoming from University of Pennsylvania Press.
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).
Human Rights in Our Time: Multidisciplinary Perspectives. Co-Editor with Todd Landman and Rhona Smith. Norwegian Centre for Human Rights and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. Originally Published in Chinese.
Current Book Projects
Human Rights Voices. Under contract with Routledge, lead editor with Sheila B. Keetharuth, Rhona Smith, Semere Kesete, Devorah Wainer, Kaitlin Murphy, and Asya El-Meehy.
Proposed here is a general textbook, Human Rights Voices, containing original contributions from those most affected by human rights issues, including victims, activists, attorneys, government officials, perpetrators, and volunteers. For the first time, students will hear directly from these key stakeholders who live daily with human rights challenges and violations. Indeed, the contributors will write their selection in the form of a letter to college students (e.g., Dear Student of Human Rights). The contributors will tell their personal story, and will be encouraged to write about the larger lessons from their experiences that any student studying these issues should know. Contributors will also be asked to offer additional sources that students might consult, including other stakeholders, links to websites, videos, and books. Many contributors will also suggest ways that university students can get involved in their issue.
