Dr Vikki Turbine has recently been appointed as Convenor of the Glasgow Human Rights Network.

They also collaborate with Document International Film Festival and will be supporting a critical forum aimed at postgraduate students at this year’s festival in October 2017. 

Details of the programme of events for 2017/18 will be announced soon. Updates will also be announced via their Twitter channel, @GlasgowHumRts, and their blog
