You’re a Human Rights Person, You Just Don’t Know It Yet | K. Chad Clay | TEDxUGA

NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
In this talk, Dr. K Chad Clay argues that most of us are Human Rights people - we just don’t know it yet. Most of us care about reducing human suffering in some way, shape, or form. And so, when we shift our perspective from an economic-based worldview to a human-centric mindset we are able to create a more diverse, sustainable, and equitable future. At the University of Georgia, Dr. K Chad Clay is the Director of the Center for the Study of Global Issues and an Associate Professor in the School of Public and International Affairs. His teaching and research focusses on human rights, political violence, and political economies. Additionally, Dr. Clay is the co-founder of the Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI), which develops measurable statistics for education and outreach efforts focused on understanding and defending human rights. HRMI is the first global initiative to track and report on the human rights performance of countries across the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
