Come to the Appalachian Mountain Club Headquarters in Boston to hear about the Peace Corps adventure - from new sights and strange foods\, to mountain ridge and desert hikes\, and coffee with people from another culture.

At stake are no less than civil liberties\, privacy and even the character of democracy in the 21st century. Many commentators have debated whether the Internet is ultimately a force for freedom of expression and political liberation\, or for alienation\, and repression. It is time to stop arguing over whether the Internet empowers individuals and societies\, and address the more fundamental and urgent question of how technology should be structured and governed to support the rights and liberties of all the world’s Internet users.

Neuman DESCRIPTION:The lecture will discuss conceptions of human rights as moral\, political\, and legal imperatives\, and their application to international migration and migrants. Cross-border migration poses the challenge of reconciling the universality of human rights with the current organization of political power through a system of territorial states. Illustrative examples will be drawn from the diversity of relevant international human rights regimes\, including recent work of the UN Human Rights Committee.
