This project is a series of workshops and group sessions to provide staff and students with the intellectual and emotional tools to deal with issues raised by difficult and/or dangerous research, and it will also provide a therapeutic space where issues and challenges faced can be discussed. The project benefits from the professional input of a psychotherapist, Ms Camille Stack.

Ms Lucinda Ferguson has been awarded this grant to provide a buy-out for her to undertake the Post-Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.

This project will contribute to the ongoing work of the blog, will facilitate the production of a second edition blog anthology, and will develop a new series of eight podcasts on various topics in human rights law.
