    • Abstract:
      This article presents information on the seminar entitled "History, Culture and Politics: Gendering International Human Rights," sponsored by UCLA Women's Studies and moderated by UCLA law professor Christine Littleton. Audience reaction ranged from an angry shouted protest to an enthusiastic standing ovation at an April 16 talk on "Palestinian Girls Facing the Wall" at the Huntington Library in San Marino. The speaker was Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, a visiting professor at UCLA Law School and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women. Kevorkian based much of her talk on discussions she has conducted with Palestinian girls in her capacity as project and research director of the Women's Center for Legal Aid and Counseling in Jerusalem.
