Methodological discussion has largely been neglected in human
rights research, with legal scholars in particular tending to
address research methods and methodological reflection implicitly
rather than explicitly. This book advances thinking on human rights
methodology, offering instruction and guidance on the
methodological approaches to human rights research. Seeking to
bridge the methodological deficit often compounded by the
interdisciplinary nature of human rights research, contributions by
leading scholars in a range of evolving fields, provide an
up-to-date assessment of human rights methods. The various chapters
apply these methods to different substantive areas including
discrimination, the right to food, the right to water, public
health and gender. This book gives a comprehensive treatment of
disciplinary approaches, discusses methodological options and
provides advice on how best to conduct human rights research in the
crossroads of different academic disciplines. Accessible and
engaging, this book will be of keen interest to students and
scholars working in human rights research, both those approaching
it from a legal standpoint and those of other social science
disciplines. Both practical and timely, the book will also lend
itself to human rights practitioners and policy-makers.
