Supported by a generous gift by David O鈥橞rien, the O鈥橞rien Fellows in Residence program aims to provide opportunities for human rights professionals to visit and contribute to the Centre. The program is meant to enrich the intellectual life at the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, and serve as a professional development opportunity for the Fellows. We have invited four of our current O'Brien Fellows in Residence to share their work with us.
