I am an American human rights lawyer who has taught both at the law school level and on Outschool on various topics relating to civil rights, women's rights, human rights, grass roots organizing, legal activism and more for many years.  

Each week will require watching video materials, reading extra source materials, writing an opinion essay and responding to each classmates opinion essay.  A final project to be posted in the classroom (TED talk style) should be being worked on throughout the length of the course.

No live meetings, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
