Professor Marianna Fotaki of University of Warwick and Professor Iain Munro of University of Newcastle are organising a workshop on retaliation experienced especially by government, intelligence and national-security whistleblowers who enjoy few legal protections.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together whistleblowers, journalists and academics to discuss the threats such attitudes pose to democracy and societal institutions, and propose ways for counteracting these. Speakers and panelists include GCHQ whistleblower and anti-war activist Katharine Gun, journalist Mark Curtis and Professor Kate Kenny, Professor Dave Lewis and Dr Justin Schlosberg.

The event, which will take place on 10 January 2020, has now been fully booked. A video record will be available later on whistleblowingimpact.org for those who are unable to attend or would like to share it with others.
