Roland Burke is author of Decolonization and the Evolution of International Human Rights (2010), and Senior Lecturer in World History at La Trobe University. His research examines the history of human rights, and in particular, the shifts in meaning that attached to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( Journal of Global History , International History Review , History & Memory ), the place of social rights ( Humanity ), and evolving relationship between decolonization and human rights ( Journal of World History and Human Rights Quarterly ).

Eleanor Davey writes about the histories of aid, activism, and anti-colonialism. She is the author of Idealism beyond Borders: The French Revolutionary Left and the Rise of Humanitarianism, 1954 1988 (2015), which was jointly awarded the International Studies Association Ethics Section Book Prize (2017).

Marco Duranti is Senior Lecturer in Modern European and International History at the University of Sydney. His research investigates the genesis of international law and organizations, above all in relation to the history of human rights, European integration, and right-wing movements. He has been a visiting fellow at the European University Institute, Sciences Po Paris, the University of Konstanz, and most recently the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law and Wolfson College at the University of Cambridge. He is author of The Conservative Human Rights Revolution: European Identity, Transnational Politics, and the Origins of the European Convention (2017).

Cindy Ewing is the Assistant Professor of Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto. She is currently working on her first monograph, which examines how postcolonial internationalism in South and Southeast Asia shaped the making of international human rights.

Mary Ann Heiss is an associate professor of history at Kent State University, where she teaches courses in the history of US foreign relations, the Cold War, and the twentieth-century world. Her current research addresses the UN s role in decolonization; among her published work on that subject is Fulfilling the Sacred Trust: The UN Campaign for International Accountability for Dependent Territories in the Era of Decolonization (forthcoming).
