Urgent notes on the links between university extension and human rights

Abstract

The text addresses the links between human rights and university extension. To do so, it is understood that it is not possible to think about this relationship without first establishing some basic notions about what is understood by extension and what by human rights. From a critical look at both fields, it proposes two possible relationships: what it means to do extension from the human rights paradigm and how extension practices can contribute to the field of human rights by helping to build new forms of decolonial knowledge in conjunction with communities struggling for their rights.
