Conversations: Matthew A Witenstein with Satang Nabaneh

Abstract

For this issue’s Conversation, I spoke with Dr. Satang Nabaneh, Director of Programs at the Human Rights Center, and Research Professor of Law, both positions at the University of Dayton. The conversation was recorded via Zoom on 3 April 2023, and while transcribed through the Zoom, I engaged in a close listen and second transcription of the recording for accuracy. Excerpts from the compelling conversation are included here for brevity. Several topics are highlighted including Dr. Nabaneh’s insights on human rights work (in Africa and globally), decolonization, global education and amplifying voice. Notably, her expertise and deep experience as a legal scholar and human rights practitioner who has worked across multiple countries, regions and continents, offers our DIME audience keen insights that can impact our research, practice and policy work.
