Even though I am Latin, growing up in Brazil I did not have the opportunity to learn of the history of the countries around me and this place really did that for me. It helped me understand better the structural issues that Latin American countries go through today by learning its history. 

This class really enhanced my understanding of the international organizations that are active today and about the different global human rights crisis happening currently and the ones that happened in the past. After taking this course, I decided to pursue the certificate in Human Rights and Transitioning Politics. ​
