The UC Davis Human Rights Initiative (UCD HRI) provides forensic documentation of the physical and psychological manifestations of ill-treatment, torture, and trauma experienced by individuals applying for asylum and safety in the United States. The organization was founded in 2020, through the direction of Farah Shaheen, M.D., and Sharad Jain, M.D., in collaboration with medical students, residents, and attorneys.
About the Series: Heightened tensions stemming from the conflict in the Middle East have led to hate crimes and discriminatory incidents on campuses nationwide. Compounding these tragic events are the political climate and the resultant silencing of discourse. This has impacted our faculty, staff, and students, who need to collectively process these events. This Grand Rounds series hosted by the Department of Internal Medicine hopes to establish a safe forum where perspectives can be expressed and shared with thoughtful exchange of ideas. Nationally renowned experts and speakers in their respective fields have been invited to deliver this series. This Grand Rounds speaker series is funded through a grant, that was awarded to the Department of Internal Medicine, to address and combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of bias, bigotry, and discrimination.
