For over 2 0 years\, Rob Kapilow has brought the joy and wonder of classical music —\; and unraveled some of its mysteries —\; t o audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

The result is a startling and intuitive musical sensibility that goes beyond samba and boss: She c hannels visionaries like Egberto Gismonti and Milton Nascimento. Says Be la Fleck: “\;I was blown away by Claudia’\;s ability and music ality. \;She is pure music.”\; \; This special performance will include Claudia playingpiano and percussion on her own original co mpositions as well as several Brazillian classics!

—\;Universal D
eclaration of Human Rights Adopted by the United Nations in 1948
The Stanford Summer Human Rights Program is an interdisciplinary co
llaboration that explores emerging issues in human rights through a seri
es of courses\, public lectures\, and films. In 2013\, the program will
continue the discussion of international human rights in the 21st centur
y\, considering both state and non-state actors in securing rights for a

The Human Rights Program is sponsored by Stanford Summer
Session in collaboration with Stanford Continuing Studies\; the Center
on Democracy\, Development\, and the Rule of Law\; Stanford Master of Li
beral Arts\; and the United Nations Association Film Festival.

---------------------------------------------------
Each ye
ar\, as part of the Summer Human Rights program\, a distinguished intern
ational human rights advocate is invited to deliver the keynote address
in the public lecture series. Last summer\, for the inauguration of the
program\, we had two keynotes\, one by Fatou Bensouda\, the first Africa
n and the first woman to serve as chief prosecutor of the International
Criminal Court\; and the other by Philip Gourevitch\, a staff writer for
The New Yorker\, and author of prize-winning journalism on Rwa
nda. This summer we are honored to host Albie Sachs\, a courageous anti-
apartheid campaigner in South Africa who went on to help draft his count
ry’\;s first democratic constitution\, and to serve as a judge on i
ts highest court.
Sachs’\;s career in human rights act
ivism started when he was seventeen years old\, continuing through colle
ge and into his law practice in Cape Town where he defended people charg
ed under the state’\;s racist statutes. Attracting the displeasure
of authorities\, Sachs was first subjected to “\;banning laws”
\; restricting his activities\, then arrested\, and finally put into sol
itary confinement. Upon release from prison\, he went into voluntary exi
le but never discontinued his human rights work. In 1988 in Mozambique\,
Sachs was nearly killed when a bomb placed under his car by South Afric
an agents exploded. He lost an arm and sight in one eye\, but emerged fr
om the ordeal with renewed idealism for his cause and what he describes
as simple joy at being alive.
In 1990\, Sachs returned to So
uth Africa\, where he worked to draft the constitution for the newly dem
ocratic country. In 1994\, he was appointed by Nelson Mandela to the Con
stitutional Court\, where he served as judge until 2009\, writing decisi
ons that changed the face of human rights in South Africa\, including a
decision in favor of same-sex marriage in 2005.
He is the a
uthor of Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter\, which chronicles
his response to the 1988 car bombing\, and five other books including <
em>The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs\, which was dramatized for the Roy
al Shakespeare Company and broadcast by the BBC.
In February of this year\, the White House Office of Scien ce and Technology Policy (OSTP) published a memo directing federal scien ce agencies "to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded research freely available to the public within one year of publi cation…\; \; Such results include peer-reviewed publications an d digital data." \; Funding agency responses to this directive could dramatically change the process of scientific information exchange and fundamentally alter how scientific research is performed and archived at US universities and government laboratories. \; Each agency has bee n directed to submit a draft plan by August 22\, 2013. \; We feel st rongly that university faculty should be aware of the preliminary propos als that have been developed by the funding agencies and the potential i mpact these policy changes will have on the University research communit y\, including faculty\, librarians\, staff\, and students.
\nWe ar e organizing a one day workshop at Stanford University where major stake holders will present their perspectives on these impending policy change s. \; We are inviting speakers from scientific society and commercia l publishers\, university libraries\, university researchers\, open acce ss advocates\, companies involved in assembling large databases\, and go vernment agencies. \; We are extending special invitations to facult y from Stanford University\; the University of California\, Berkeley\; a nd the University of California\, San Francisco. \; \;We hope y ou will find time to attend the forum on this important topic. \;
\nThe all-day forum will be held on \;Thursday\, June 27 at the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge on the St anford University Campus.

Th is installation explores approximately 12 photographs. \;
