Join us on Tuesday 27 January for a discussion with Dr Yanes about how to pursue a career in human rights.
About this Event

Join us for the second Stoa event of Semester 2. We'll be joined by Dr Luis F. Yanes, a guest lecturer in International Human Rights and the Scottish Commission on Human Rights' expert on economic, social and cultural rights.


EPU President, Grace, and Vice President, Maya, will discuss how to pursue a career in human rights with Dr Yanes, inspired by his nearly 20 years of experience in the sector working across the globe, followed by the usual 30 minutes of audience Q&A. For those interested in human rights or international justice more broadly, this is a great opportunity to learn more about different career pathways and what working in the sector looks like.
As always, we've got space reserved across the street at the Pear Tree Pub to continue the discussion after the event.
