On February 28 and March 1, the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut will host two events to mark the launch of its Business and Human Rights Program: (1) the 2013 Raymond and Beverly Sackler Distinguished Lecture, which will be given by Professor John Ruggie, formerly the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Representative for Business and Human Rights; and (2) a Business and Human Rights Roundtable.

WilmerHale counsel Suzanne Spears is the Thomas J. Dodd Center's non-resident Fellow on Business and Human Rights and will co-chair the Business and Human Rights Roundtable.
