NEWS |

Members of the Pembroke community have received an Oxford Teaching Award for their work with the Oxford Human Rights Hub.

Professor Sandra Fredman, former student Meghan Campbell (DPhil Law, 2011) and Ms Zoe Davis-Heaney were among those awarded a teaching excellence award at a ceremony at Rhodes House on 23 November 2015, attended by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford.

The Oxford Human Rights Hub (OxHRH) was founded by Prof. Fredman in 2012 as a means of creating an international community of scholars, practitioners and policy-makers in the field of human rights. Meghan Campbell is the Deputy-Director, while Zoe Davis-Heaney is the administrator both of the Human Rights for Future Generations programme, run from Pembroke, and the OxHRH.

The Hub was awarded the Teaching Awards Project Grant, which specifically celebrates excellence in teaching in relation to projects that provide new educational practice in their subject areas.

Meghan Campbell, who began working for the Hub in 2012, commented: ‘The Oxford Human Rights Hub is delighted to have won this prestigious award. The Teaching Excellence Project Grant will enable us to continue to provide high quality legal blogs on cutting edge developments on human rights from all over the world. The OxHRH will continue in its mission to connect students from Oxford with students, academics, policy-makers working on human rights from around the globe.’

Pembroke is also delighted that Dr Paul Greig, a graduate student at Pembrok College, received an Excellent Teaching Award for his work with final-year medical students at the University of Oxford and undergraduate nursing students from Oxford Brookes University.
