Please join us on December 14, 2015 at 5:00 pm at the Alumni Center for the presentation of the 2015 Edward C. Marth Mentorship Award to Shereen Hertel.
The UConn AAUP established the Edward C. Marth Mentorship Award to recognize the leadership and dedication of Edward Marth, former Executive Director of the UConn AAUP Chapter, and to encourage and reward outstanding mentoring of graduate students by UConn Graduate Faculty members. To that end, the nominating committee was extremely impressed by the extent of Dr. Hertel’s commitment to mentoring graduate students.
Dr. Shareen Hertel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Connecticut, jointly appointed with the Human Rights Institute at UConn. Her research focuses on changes in transnational human rights advocacy, with a focus on labor and economic rights issues. Dr. Hertel has served as a consultant to foundations, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and United Nations agencies in the United States, Latin America and South Asia. She has conducted fieldwork in factory zones along the US-Mexico border, in Bangladesh's garment manufacturing export sector, among NGO networks in India, and in the multilateral trade arena. Dr. Hertel is editor of The Journal of Human Rights, serves on the editorial boards of Human Rights Review as well as Human Rights and Human Welfare, and is co-editor of the International Studies Intensives book series of Routledge.
Dr. Shareen’s work is an inspiration to us all.
