Using Statistics to Study Human Rights

"Big data" and statistics have become common in political research and journalism, but most people would not think of human rights as amenable to quantitative analysis. However, there are many publicly available sources of information on human rights practices. This course presents an overview of quantitative analysis of human rights practices, practical and ethical issues that commonly arise, current research and what it suggests about patterns of human rights violations, and briefly introduces participants to basic statistical analysis.
