Check out the Oxford Human Rights Festival’s first ever podcast series, on protest, the press and media representation.

Students Victoria Greenwood and Lucie Dick speak with the experts. Hear Belinda Goldsmith, Editor-in-Chief of Thomson Reuters Foundation, examine misinformation and disinformation. Listen to Josie Naughton, CEO of Choose Love, discuss the impact of hostile political narratives on the lives of refugees. Hear Esther Stanford-Xosei, Advocate of Extinction Rebellion, unpack how the media portrays activism and civil disobedience and reflect on the power of protest and disruption.
