About the show

Investigating matters of human rights at home and abroad. Listen to the podcast by the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School, hosted by Executive Director Maggie Gates, Mathias Risse, Aminta Ossom, and Diego Garcia Blum. The views expressed are those of each speaker individually and not necessarily those of others in this recording, the Carr-Ryan Center, or Harvard Kennedy School. We support free speech as the cornerstone of learning and democracy and share these perspectives to foster open debate.
