Global Campus of Human Rights: new podcast series "To The Righthouse: Sounds of Justice"

The Global Campus of Human Rights has launched its new podcast series “To The Righthouse: Sounds of Justice”.

Taking inspiration from “The Routledge Companion to Music and Human Rights”, this series explores how music has voiced and powered human rights struggles around the world, from the US civil rights movement to Uyghur resistance against erasure, and travels across genres, geographies and histories to look at the role of music in advancing empathy, solidarity, identity and resistance to injustice. 

This fourth series in the Global Campus “To the Righthouse” podcast programme is hosted by Ignacio Saiz, human rights advocate and independent advisor to international organizations, and brings together artists, academics and human rights practitioners, including Manfred Nowak, George Ulrich, Shana Redmond, Rasika Ajotikar, Christina Hazboun, Rachel Harris, Mansoor Adayfi, César Rodríguez-Garavito and Rebecca Dirksen,  to share music and insights.

Aimed at music-makers, change-makers and anyone with an interest in music, social justice and the connections between them, “Sounds of Justice” is an invitation to listen afresh, to imagine anew and to be moved to action.
