This candidate took most of our suggestions and now has a much cleaner looking CV that is shorter and easier to follow. He does not include all of his publications because many were from his first master’s degree when he was studying French literature; hence the heading Some Recent Conference Presentations.

DISSERTATION A Systematic Critique of Multiculturalism and Human Rights
Adviser JANE SMITH
Focusing on the phenomenon of violence against women in the private sphere, my dissertation aims to combine the two literatures of multiculturalism and human rights. In these two genres of literature, the same critiques of cultural rights and human rights are being made but have yet to be brought together. According to feminist scholars’ insights into the private realm, cultural rights that provide special protections to ethnic groups, and human rights that supposedly provide universal protections often do not apply to women in practice. These special and universalistic rights can be used—and in fact have been used—as legal shields to cover up acts that harm women’s interests and well-being, thus exacerbating violence against women at home. By studying this phenomenon systematically, my dissertation breaks new ground.
