Prof Kate Kenny speaks at workshop on “Whistleblowing, Human Rights and Social Justice”

On 15th March 2022, this event brought together a multidisciplinary panel of experts concerned with whistleblower protections from the fields of law and the social sciences. The workshop focused on overlapping issues related to whistleblowing, human rights, and social justice, issues of crucial importance in the development of whistleblower protections, as well as being germane to the disclosures of whistleblowers who often reveal the corruption that is of great significance for promoting both human rights and social justice. The speakers include Professor Robert Tibbo (Newcastle University, lawyer for refugee rights and Mr. Edward Snowden), Professor Kate Kenny (National University of Ireland Galway), and Professor David Lewis (Head of the Whistleblowing Research Unit at Middlesex University and convenor of the International Whistleblowing Research Network). The event was co-hosted by the Newcastle University Business School, the Newcastle University Forum for Human Rights and Social Justice, and the Irish Centre for Human Rights.
