Episode 1 - A Warm Shoulder: Using History to Empower Young Women - Brighter Futures

This blog was written by Professor Tracey Loughran with Kate Mahoney and Daisy Payling from the Body, Self, and Family project. We recently launched the toolkit – Bodies, Hearts, and Minds: Using the Past to Empower the Future. The toolkit uses historical sources to help young people think differently about their emotional and bodily wellbeing in the present, and their capacity to make change in the future.

Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe: Her journey to freedom and the lessons we can learn

Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe: Her journey to freedom and the lessons we can learn

Professor Carla Ferstman is a lawyer and an activist. Before joining the School of Law in 2018, she directed REDRESS, an organization dedicated to helping torture survivors in all parts of the world to seek justice for all the harm they suffered. That is where she first met Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe who was released earlier this week on 15 March 2022 after almost six years of being kept as a hostage in Iran. I spoke to Carla to find out more about her perspective on Nazanin’s journey to freedom and to ask her what lessons we might be able to draw from her case.
