Essex Human Rights Review

About EHRR

The Essex Human Rights Review (EHRR) is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, academic journal which aims to address contemporary human rights issues. The EHRR is associated with the internationally renowned Essex Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex. Sharing the Centre's international and interdisciplinary approach to human rights theory and practice, the EHRR embraces work from the social and political sciences, philosophy, legal studies and literature.

The journal aims to highlight new human rights developments through academic papers, reports on key conferences, reviews of relevant literature, and original interviews with leading figures in the field. The EHRR publishes biannual issues online, and annual special issues online and in print.

The EHRR Editorial Board traditionally comprises doctoral students from a wide range of departments at the University of Essex. The journal is proud to have a number of outstanding human rights practitioners and theorists on its Advisory Board, and also draws on the considerable expertise of the Human Rights Centre and University of Essex alumni, many of whom continue to work in the field in academic institutions, NGOs, government departments and research establishments.

International Centre for Prison Studies (ICPS)

The International Centre for Prison Studies assists governments and other relevant agencies to develop appropriate policies on prisons and the use of imprisonment. ICPS has an academic partnership with the University of Essex.

The Centre makes the results of its academic research and projects widely available to groups and individuals, both nationally and internationally. These include policy makers, practitioners and administrators, the media and the general public. Such dissemination will help to increase an understanding of the purpose of prison and what can be expected of it.

It carries out work on a project or consultancy basis for international agencies, governmental and non-governmental organisations.
