On today’s episode of Justice Matters, co-host Mathias Risse speaks with Douglas Johnson, former director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy from 2013-2017 and Lecturer on Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. On the occasion of his retirement from the university he reflects on his work over a long career in human rights including: his multiple decades of work at the Minnesota-based Center for the Victims of Torture, his role in organizing the historic 1970’s grassroots boycott of Nestle with the Infant Formula Action Coalition, the impact of the boycott on informing the due diligence principles of business and human rights, and finally with his retirement from Harvard, Douglass shares some of his key insights that he sought to convey in his decades of teaching.
