Thinking Twice: Human Rights
Each month Stanford scholars take a multi-disciplinary look at the same issue from their uniquely informed points of view in Thinking Twice.
This month's forum question is "Do you think that human rights should vary in different regions of the world?"
Ban Wang, a professor of Asian languages, asserts that politics and aesthetics are intertwined in modern China.
Helen Stacy, a senior lecturer at the Law School, proposes a system of regional human-rights courts.
