Abstract:
This seminar offers an overview of my research and work on whistleblower support. It attempts to map out different forms of engagement and the limitations of existing policy and institutional reform. It highlights the importance of human activism in a context of systemic corruption and intensified retaliation against whistleblowers and their supporters. In addition to scholarly discussion and feedback, suggestions concerning engagement and possible impact pathways would be welcomed.
