| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The objective of this article is to examine the practical outcomes of a human rights education course/exchange program conducted in South Africa between 2001 and 2005. Data for the study were obtained from observation, interviews, focus groups, program reports and annual evaluation instruments. The study reveals that undergraduate exchange programs which involve a focus on human rights can have a significant impact on undergraduate's research and career plans. The recommendation is that such programs develop and maintain open and equitable administrative structures that adhere to the principles outlined in formal program documents. |
