Human Rights in the UK Media: Representation and Reality
Dr. Michelle Farrell of the School of Law, University of
Liverpool, is organising a fascinating conference on the theme of 'Human Rights
in the UK Media' on 19 September 2014. This seminar, supported by the
Modern Law Review, brings together constitutional and international law
researchers, media and communications researchers, journalists, legal
practitioners and civil society actors for an interdisciplinary discussion on
the media's representation of human rights. The seminar will facilitate a
bridging of the gap between theoretical and practical understandings of human
rights and encourage knowledge exchange on human rights as seen from various
perspectives.
The programme includes Professor Colm
O'Cinneide (UCL); Nuala Mole (AIRE Centre); Dr Aoife Daly (Liverpool); Dr
Michael Kearney (Sussex); Colin Murray (Newcastle); Susanna Sampaio Dias
(Cardiff), and Owen Bowcott (The Guardian). The keynote speaker is Professor
David Mead from the University of East Anglia.
