Anthony Tirado Chase is a Professor at Occidental College and Chair of its Young Initiative on the Global Political Economy. Chase publishes widely on human rights in the context of Middle Eastern politics, transitional justice, sexual orientation and gender identity-related rights, and the roles of non-state and sub-state actors. His publications include three books, Handbook on Human Rights and the Middle East and North Africa (Routledge, 2017) Human Rights, Revolution, and Reform in the Muslim World (Lynne Rienner, 2012), and Human Rights in the Arab World: Independent Voices (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006). Forthcoming is a co-edited volume Human Rights at the Intersections: Transformations through Addressing New Challenges (I.B. Tauris, 2022). Chase’s most recent research is on transitional justice with specific reference to the potential role of sub-state and non-state actors in truth and accountability processes, from the Middle East/North Africa to Colombia and Los Angeles, U.S..
This roundtable discussion raises and responds to the question: What can be learned from academic and local government partnerships to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? We draw on several years of cooperation between the Office of the Mayor of Los Angeles (CA, USA) and academic institutions on how to best advance and integrate the United Nations’ SDGs into policy. Stakeholders from this project give voice to varying perspectives across roles—as city officials, academic partners, graduate and undergraduate students—in the Los Angeles case of SDG implementation. The article outlines a “Task Force” model, under the joint facilitation of faculty advisors and guidance of city partners, that promotes students’ experiential learning, and meaningfully bridges theory and practice in bringing global frameworks to local practice. We highlight what we gain by disaggregating the local and taking space and place seriously in sustainability policy, while underscoring the importance of long-term trust and relationship building in the success of local sustainability efforts.

Paul Farmer’s Partner to the Poor is introduced by Haun Sassy with the following: “People sometimes refer to Paul Edward Farmer, MD, born in 1959, as a hero, saint, madman, or genius. Any or all of these descriptions may hold….” (1). This hagiographic (literally) beginning gives some sense of the impressive impact of Farmer’s writings collected in Partner to the Poor. It also, represents, however, something of a conundrum. How does one balance admiration for the resonance of Farmer’s important work with the troubling sense that Farmer’s invocations of human rights lack the depth to effect the change for which he calls? A deeper understanding of human rights than Farmer’s may be necessary if his initially appealing invocations are to move away from the problematic assumption that human rights are something to be given from the outside, rather than owned by marginalized populations that engage with the rights’ regime to the degree it resonates with their own struggles.
