The Right to Science – a conversation with Helle Porsdam & Sebastian Porsdam Mann

In this episode, we host the editors of a recently published book, The Right to Science: Then and Now (2021). Professor Helle Porsdam, Professor of History and Cultural Rights at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies of Law (CIS) at the University of Copenhagen and who holds a UNESCO Chair in Cultural Rights, and Dr. Sebastian Porsdam Mann at the University of Oxford, speak about the fascinating history of this less well-known Human Right. They discuss what it means to participate and share in culture and science, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and what a human rights perspective brings to complex issues.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 27 - Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
