Prof. Souaiaia acquired huquq.com in order to make it a Companion Platform that would add more context to his most recent monograph, Muslims and the Western Conception of Rights. After examining the content already archived on the old site, he decided to preserve some of that content and to offer new tools that might be helpful to individuals working on issues beyond the classroom environment. The basic structure of this online space now consists of two general environments:
· Research and Teaching
· Advocacy and Community
Although Prof. Souaiaia will maintain an active role sharing his research and teaching experience, both environments will be open to researchers, instructors, students, and NGO leaders and members of the communities they serve to collaborate, debate, educate, and inform.
At this point, the site has some basic tools that can be used to facilitate some of the above-described activities. As an open access medium, most areas of the site are community-run, supported, and accessible. If the community of users and contributors find it useful to update these tools or add new one, the site will change. However, the aim is to keep this site open and supportive to those advocating for the most vulnerable amongst us.
Small non-profit organizations and independent individuals who are advocating for human rights and who might need dedicated space to share their work are welcome to reach out with a request for web space. We have some limited resources in the form of subdomain URLs and bandwidth that can be shared.
*****
The aim of this Companion Website is to integrate established research evidence into practice; to enable collaboration; and to contribute ideas to solving practical problems in the area of human rights. These aims are achieved by focusing on change in framing the issues, on learning, and on highlighting the imbalances in power. In short, this project applies the Systems Thinking Framework (STF) to the most perennial problem in human history—human rights abuses.
