Pozen Professorships are awarded annually to ‘distinguished human rights scholars and practitioners’. These visiting positions enable the Pozen professors to spend one quarter of the academic year at the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights at the University of Chicago, during which time they will teach one seminar and deliver a public lecture. The Pozen Center is an interdisciplinary centre for the study and advancement of human rights. The Pozen Professorship is made possible by a gift from Richard and Ann Pozen.
