Massey Lecturer Alex Neve Speaking September 19-October 30

At a time when Human Rights are being gutted around the world, Alex Neve discusses how we have failed to make these rights truly universal and how we might renew these rights in a world filled with conflict and divisiveness. 

Alex Neve is a human rights lawyer who served as Secretary-General of Amnesty International Canada from 2000 to 2020.

“Weaving together law, history, and stories from decades on the front lines of the struggle for human rights, Neve investigates where we went wrong, how we have progressed, and what we can do to fulfil the promise that human rights are inherent, inalienable, and applicable to all people.” 

Neve is this year’s Massey Lecturer and is speaking in several locations across the country from September 19 to October 30.
