Innovative scholarship is essential to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the emerging field of business and human rights.
The Center produces academic and popular writing and develops new teaching resources on business and human rights. The Center contributes to an emerging body of scholarship at the intersection of business ethics, management, and law. We regularly participate in academic conferences in these fields and publish articles in scholarly journals.
In July 2018 the Center published its latest report, Combating Russian Disinformation: The Case for Stepping Up the Fight Online, examining Russian disinformation campaigns. The report concludes by making a series of recommendations that industry and government can take to overcome this and future threats to democracy.
In April 2018, the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, and Humanity United launched the Gulf Construction Tracker. It is a tool for civil society, business, and academics to conduct more targeted research and advocacy on migrant rights issues – including recruitment fees – in the region’s construction sector.
