Abstract

This practice report provides an account of two outreach projects that enabled different community groups, members of staff at Royal Holloway, University of London, and students at Royal Holloway’s Legal Advice Centre, to discuss human rights in an accessible and relatable way, which empowered the delegates, and encouraged open dialogue. At the first event, Royal Holloway and the Afghanistan and Central Asian Association collaborated to host an online Being Human café as part of the Being Human 2020: a Festival of Humanities programme organised and set up annually by the School of Advanced Study, University of London and funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. The café “Afghan Women Small Spaces Café: Sewing Pathways to Human Rights” took place via Zoom. Meeting over Afghan tea and cake, participants - from the public, generally from the Afghan diaspora community and researchers - used mixed participatory methods including artwork, sewing and conversation to explore what everyday habits and material objects tell us about ourselves and each other. Working with these, and other culturally specific lived experiences, Marshall linked her research, on human rights law’s purpose of ensuring universal dignity, equality and rights, to French writer Georges Perec. Following this style of Café, the authors created the Autism Legal Rights Café, in partnership with the Sycamore Trust U.K. At this second event, Marshall’s research on everyday spaces was developed into a short talk about law, everyday spaces, objects and being human at a focused arts and crafts workshop for young women with autism. Particularly during Covid-19 lockdown, it was explored how and why our objects took on a new meaning. This talk included an analysis of Species of Spaces where Perec traced what is truly daily, those everyday habits and material objects of which our lives consist, what goes without saying. Perec claims, although these do not seem to pose any problems, we need to ask what they may tell us about what is important in life, what makes it worth living.
临床法律教育:人权和工艺美术
本实践报告介绍了两个外展项目,这些项目使不同的社区团体、伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院的工作人员和皇家霍洛威法律咨询中心的学生能够以一种无障碍和相关的方式讨论人权问题,这赋予了代表们权力,并鼓励了公开对话。在第一场活动中,皇家霍洛威学院与阿富汗和中亚协会合作举办了一场在线人类咖啡馆,作为“人类2020:人文节”项目的一部分,该项目每年由伦敦大学高等研究学院组织和设立,由艺术与人文研究委员会和英国科学院资助。“阿富汗妇女小空间咖啡馆:通往人权的缝纫之路”由Zoom举办。在阿富汗茶和蛋糕旁,来自公众,一般是来自阿富汗侨民社区和研究人员的参与者使用混合的参与式方法,包括艺术品,缝纫和对话,探索日常习惯和物质物品告诉我们自己和彼此的东西。在研究这些问题以及其他具有文化特殊性的生活经历时,马歇尔将她关于人权法旨在确保普遍尊严、平等和权利的研究与法国作家乔治·佩雷克(Georges Perec)联系起来。在这种咖啡馆风格的基础上,作者与英国Sycamore Trust合作创建了自闭症法律权利咖啡馆。在第二次活动中,马歇尔对日常空间的研究被发展成一个关于法律、日常空间、物体和人类的简短演讲,在一个专注于自闭症年轻女性的艺术和手工艺研讨会上。特别是在Covid-19封锁期间,探索了我们的物体如何以及为什么具有新的含义。这次演讲包括对《空间物种》的分析,佩莱克在其中追溯了真正的日常生活,那些日常习惯和构成我们生活的物质对象,这些都是不言而喻的。Perec声称,尽管这些似乎不会带来任何问题,但我们需要问一下,它们能告诉我们什么是生命中重要的,是什么让生命值得活下去。
