Sandra Fahy
Sandra Fahy is associate professor of anthropology in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and the Graduate Program in Global Studies at Sophia University in Tokyo.
My current research at the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School focuses on how governments, past and present, use social media platforms and video to deny allegations of human rights abuses.
This research is transnational and casts a critical eye on how contemporary media technologies complicate the theory, practice and knowledge of human rights.
