Prof Phil Scraton: Bearing witness to the 'pain of others'
Professor Phil Scraton (Professor Emeritus, School of Law, Queen’s University Belfast) discusses the responsibility of academic researchers and human rights advocates to proclaim and represent the ‘view from below’ – voices of those silenced by powerful institutions in securing truth, justice and acknowledgement.
Drawing on three decades of research with and within communities – investigating the Hillsborough disaster and its aftermath, the inhumanities of incarceration and the systemic denial of prisoners’ rights, and the disappearances of babies from mother and baby institutions – he addresses the political, ethical and personal challenges to bearing witness to the ‘pain of others’. He explores the proposition that critical voices are the foundation of hope, resistance and redress in their commitment to truth recovery, social justice and political transformation.
This IPR/Centre for the Study of Violence event took place on 19 June 2025.
