We aim to promote the study of sociology and rights online and through conferences, workshops and publications. Our membership is drawn from academics and activists from around the world, working on a broad spectrum of human rights and rights related issues.  We seek to provide a network of communication to all who are concerned with the promotion and use of sociology and sociological research in the study of rights and human rights.

About this Wiki-Website

The aim of this wiki-website is to provide an online presence for the study group.  The site is built as a collaborative platform where members can develop and advance the group’s network of communication.  Study group members can have access to the editing functions of this site, and can accordingly contribute to its content and development.  At a broader level we also hope that the site will serve to provide a central resource for a wider community of researchers, activists and practitioners (irrelevant of study group membership).  With the latter in mind, we warmly welcome comments from non-members (and members), concerning the content and layout of the site.  Comments can either be posted via the dialogue boxes at the end of each page, or emailed to sociologyofrights@yahoo.com
