The Arts and Human Rights

The Human Rights Podcast

On 16th October 2019, musicians Lisa Knapp and Gerry Diver visited NUI Galway to give a lunchtime concert as part of NUI Galway's Arts in Action programme. Arts in Action is the brainchild of renowned singer and NUI Galway lecturer, Mary McPartlan, and Mary joined Lisa and Gerry towards the end of their performance. For this podcast episode, all three musicians met with Dr Maeve O'Rourke, Lecturer in the Irish Centre for Human Rights, NUI Galway, to discuss the connections between the arts and human rights. Mary McPartlan also explained her thinking behind the Arts in Action programme and taught module at NUI Galway.
