FORGE 2023
On November 2-5 2023, the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at NYU Law convened its first annual Future of Rights and Governance (FORGE) Conference. This global gathering of scholars, practitioners, artists, scientists, lawyers, policy makers, among others, differed from panel-based conventional conferences by creating spaces to actively share ideas and develop experiments for change that could transform the fields of global rights and justice. https://forge-program.com/
