clip from article:

In Spring 2012, the Initiative will build on the themes of the symposium with a faculty research seminar that brings together faculty members from an array of disciplines to continue the conversation. Finally, as a bridge beyond the humanities, the Initiative will underwrite the development of a graduate seminar offered jointly by the Colleges of Letters & Science and Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Tentatively entitled “Human Rights and Humanitarianism,” the two-quarter research seminar would be designed by faculty working in the fields of International Agricultural development and Community and Human development with an eye to attracting students from both colleges. The Human Rights Initiative will lay a strong foundation for the teaching and research of Human Rights at UC Davis and serve as a seeding ground for external development and major grants.
