Human Rights Research Methods across Disciplines: Interdisciplinarity and
Multimethods research
Thursday 17 October 2019, 11 am-13 pm
*Introduction Seminar cycle*
An empirical turn is taking place in international legal scholarship.
Traditionally the fields of international law and human rights law are
occupied by lawyers concerned about legal theory, jurisprudence and
doctrinal analysis. In recent years, a trend is emerging were social
scientists such as political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists and
economists are interested in contributing from an empirical approach to the
theoretical debates over whether international law and human rights law
matters at all or not. Across disciplines sparking debates about human
rights are taking place. This kind of interdisciplinary research
contributes to narrowing the gap between legal theory, empirical reality
and legal practitioners work on the ground. The objective of this seminar
cycle is to open up space for empirical and theoretical dialogues between
legal scholars and social scientists about substantive areas such as the
human right to water and health, sexual and reproductive rights, the right
to justice and reparation in post-conflict societies, indigenous peoples’
rights, racism and discrimination.
