Human rights issues affect us all
Sometimes, there can be an unfortunate disconnect between human rights research at universities, and the rest of the world. Let’s Talk Human Rights is a video and podcast series aiming to bridge that gap. We interview human rights experts at one of the primary research hubs of the Netherlands: the Maastricht Centre for Human Rights.
We will open a window to show what is happening in human rights research today. We discuss pressing issues, from human rights and social media to the rights of disabled persons. We also talk to the researchers about themselves, their projects, and their research journey. Focusing mainly on early career researchers, we cast a light on human rights law and how it works and on what it means to be a human rights researcher.
