A Brief History
 The International Human Rights Exchange (IHRE) was founded in 2000 as a collaborative venture of 14 Southern African universities and U.S. liberal arts colleges, plus three civil society organizations working in the area of human rights. For five years, it offered a month-long intensive course that was scheduled during the U.S. summer semester break. In 2007, IHRE became a joint semester program of Bard College and the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
Students from any North American institution are invited to apply, via Bard, to the IHRE program. Students from institutions outside of the U.S. should apply through the IHRE office at Wits.
