Podcast Human Rights Tracks with Janina Heaphy

HRT No. 1: Going against torture. How to hold powerful states accountable?

We are proud to launch our new podcast “Human Rights Tracks” with an episode on combatting torture featuring CHREN postdoctoral researcher.

Janina Heaphy’s research predominantly revolves around diplomacy, security studies and human rights with one of her projects exploring for instance strategic accountability campaigns against the use of torture and targeted killings in Western counterterrorist operations. She has interviewed a lot of people that are usually very hard to talk to – for instance former high-ranked CIA and military investigators, the former legal advisor to George W. Bush, or the former Attorney General of England and Wales. So – against common belief – Janina’s work very much shows: Research never gets boring.

Enjoy listening!
