Beschreibung:
Patricia Hynes is a Principal Lecturer in the Department of Applied Social Studies, University of Bedfordshire, U.K.. Her research interests include human rights and forced migration in all its forms, including internally displaced persons, refugees, asylum and 'trafficking'. She has published internationally on these interests, including for the Journal of Refugee Studies, The International Journal of Human Rights and for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
This book is a contribution to both sociology and to human rights research, particularly where these are oriented to challenging power relations and inequalities in contemporary societies. It expands and develops the sociology of human rights as a sub-field of sociology and of interdisciplinary human rights scholarship.
