Book Event: Politicized Religion and the Reframing of Fundamental Rights - Harvard Law School | Human Rights Program 10/06/2026

🚨 Book Event: Politicized Religion and the Reframing of Fundamental Rights

Join us for a discussion with Susanna Mancini and Michel Rosenfeld on their recent book Politicized Religion and the Reframing of Fundamental Rights. Moderated by Gerald Neuman and featuring a response from Katharine G. Young, the discussion will, among other things, examine how contemporary contests over human and civil rights are increasingly internationalized through transnational networks. By sharing legal strategies and coordinating advocacy across borders, these networks advance competing visions of the meaning and scope of fundamental rights.
