We welcome submissions by academics, legal scholars, practitioners, field experts, and students. The Symposium is scheduled for Friday, October 27, 2023, and will be hosted by the St. Thomas University College of Law.
The theme of the IHRLR Symposium will
focus on the right to housing across
economic, social, political, and cultural boundaries and will feature articles
of broad interest regarding upholding tenant’s human rights, access to fair
housing, and renter’s welfare in the context of the affordable housing crisis. Submissions

affordable housing crisis.

access to fair housing.
