#11: Lynette Chua on the Politics of Love

Lynette Chua is an Associate Professor of Law at the National University of Singapore and Head of Studies for Law and Liberal Arts at Yale-NUS College. A scholar of Law and Society, she has researched human rights movements in Singapore and Myanmar and is currently working on a study of “filial piety” laws in Asia. In this episode: Lynette’s non-linear academic trajectory; “pragmatic resistance” and Singapore’s LGBT rights movement; the role of emotions in human rights practice; conducting fieldwork as an “outsider’ in Myanmar; the “Lynette Chua” model; the relationship between academia and activism. “I just do what I feel is important and what I like to do…if you think too much about fear you just kind of become paralyzed.”

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
