Real World Solutions

Connecting conversations in the classroom to real-world issues in human rights and corporate accountability

In this episode, we chat with Kish Parella, Class of 1960 Professor of Ethics and Law, about her academic research in business and human rights, how her students influence her scholarship, and why working outside the classroom strengthens her role as a professor. We also explore the importance of corporate accountability and consumer education, including how contract clauses can have a major impact on an individual’s day-to-day life.

“It’s really important that my scholarship is not just satisfying my curiosity – or the four people who might read my paper – but that it is actually relevant in some way to the issues that I really care about.”.
