"William Schulz . . . has done more than anyone in the American human rights movement to make human rights issues known in the United States" -- The New York Review of Books, June, 2002.
From refugee camps of Darfur, Sudan, to the poorest villages in India; from the prison cells of Monrovia, Liberia, to the business suites of Hong Kong to Louisiana's death row, Dr. William F. Schulz has traveled the globe in pursuit of a world free from human rights violations. In the United States, Dr. Schulz is a foremost voice for human rights speaking on campuses, in boardrooms and to civic organizations.
A frequent guest on television programs such as Good Morning, America, The Today Show, Hardball and Nightline, Dr. Schulz will be speaking about his latest book, The Future of Human Rights: US Policy for a New Era (2008, University of Pennsylvania Press). He is also the author of In Our Own Best Interest: How Defending Human Rights Benefits Us All (2001, Beacon Press) and Tainted Legacy: 9/11 and the Ruin of Human Rights (2003, Nation Books); and the contributing editor of The Phenomenon of Torture: Readings and Commentary (2007, University of Pennsylvania Press).
A recipient of the Public Service Citation from the University of Chicago Alumni Association and the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Oberlin College Alumni Association, Dr. Schulz is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Oberlin College, holds a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Chicago and the Doctor of Ministry degree from Meadville/Lombard Theological School (at the University of Chicago).
