ISHR was the first academic center in the world to be established on an explicitly interdisciplinary commitment to the study of human rights. This remains central to its mission today.
Recognizing that human rights and social justice are not solely matters of law, ISHR advances research and education that transcend traditional academic boundaries, departments, and disciplines, while engaging with practitioners and organizations beyond the university.
ISHR’s emphasis on interdisciplinarity, engagement, and global reach both reflects and reinforces long-standing strengths of Columbia’s intellectual life, enabling ISHR to address the evolving complexities of human rights in a globalized world. ISHR’s distinction is also earned through its active engagement with the world of human rights practitioners.
This engagement informs the academic work of Columbia’s faculty while simultaneously challenging activists to assess and evaluate their approaches to human rights in the light of academic findings. ISHR continues to be a leader in bridging the academic study of human rights and the worlds of advocacy and public policy.
ISHR’s global connections are especially strong with advocates in the Global South, predominantly through the [Human Rights Advocates Program](https://www. humanrightscolumbia. org/hrap/human-rights-advocates-program) (HRAP).
At a time in which Columbia is increasingly focusing on global issues, all of these components form and define the educational and instructional shape of human rights education at Columbia, ensuring that it is focused on the real world challenges practitioners face, bringing voices from the Global South to CU and critically evaluating the movement from an interdisciplinary perspective.

On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
