In the last few years, podcasting as a medium and an industry has grown at an unprecedented rate. As the types of podcasts that are being released continue to diversify, we're seeing more people take the initiative to use podcasting as a means to discuss issues that aren't being addressed elsewhere. When it comes to human rights issues, particularly those that have not been picked up by mainstream media sources, podcasting becomes an important tool for amplifying human rights issues to wide audiences. This is something that Saadia Khan, the host of the podcast Immigrantly, knows very well. Saadia did her Masters in Human Rights Studies from GSAS. She started Immigrantly in the fall of 2018 to showcase the idiosyncrasies of every immigrant story. Saadia's experiences in the world of human rights directly inform her podcasting.

This event is hosted by the SIPA Human Rights and Humanitarian Policy Concentration as well as the Institute for the Study of Human Rights.
