Mission Statement

Dignity: An Undergraduate Human Rights Journal endeavors to showcase a broad spectrum of human rights scholarship by undergraduate students in the University of North Carolina System. The Journal fosters awareness of international and domestic human rights by publishing an annual academic journal containing high-quality, undergraduate human rights research from across the disciplines. Dignity: Online features other forms of human rights scholarship including essays, film and book reviews, and artwork. We hope to inspire undergraduate students to see themselves as valuable contributors to human rights discourse by cultivating a community of engaged student scholars.

Dignity is a student-run publication founded in 2020 at the University of North Carolina at Asheville that invites the active participation of students and faculty across the UNC system as reviewers, editors, and contributors.
