The School of Global Integrative Studies will host the second installment of their virtual colloquium series, “Engaging Human Rights: Humanity on the Edge,” at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 20 via Zoom.

Leila Rodriguez, associate professor at the University of Cincinnati, will present a lecture, “Social and Legal Tools in the Integration of Refugees and Migrants: the Role of Communities and Experts.”

Rodriguez is a cultural anthropologist and demographer whose research centers on the local integration dynamics of migrants. A second line of research examines the use of culture as judicial evidence — in the form of anthropological expert testimony — in legal conflicts that involve immigrants and refugees.

Registration is required.
