:: Purpose: Educating in Human Rights is a challenge that the University must establish for the multicultural training of professionals committed to the defense, promotion and dissemination of Human Rights. Let us remember that according to the National Education Law No. 26.206. Education is a national priority and constitutes State policy to build a just society, reaffirm national sovereignty and identity, deepen the exercise of democratic citizenship, respect human rights and fundamental freedoms and strengthen the economic-social development of the Nation (article 3) and that one of the aims and objectives of educational policy consists of providing citizen education committed to the ethical and democratic values of participation, freedom, solidarity, peaceful resolution of conflicts, respect for human rights, responsibility, honesty, valuation and preservation of natural and cultural heritage (article 11 point c). Human Rights education is effective and complete when it is carried out from an interdisciplinary perspective of knowledge, given that only in this way is it possible to put in tension conceptualizations naturalized from the hegemonic discourse, and address different approaches based on the pluriculturality of societies. The Master's Degree in Human Rights that we present addresses the study of Human Rights from a historical and critical perspective, with its social unfoldings and contradictory complexities. Therefore, our curriculum has to do not only with a "powerful academic" training in philosophy, history and constitutional law but also incorporates other perspectives through the development of specific problems that merit interdisciplinary treatment, overcoming scientific reductionism. , which limits the study of Human Rights to the strictly legal field.
