What about culture as politics?

Our guest in this episode is Alexandra Xanthaki*, UN Special Rapporteur on Cultural Rights. Based on her work and a series of reports that she has released, we asked her:

What role is there for culture and cultural rights in reimagining politics? Is culture politics? How can we safeguard the dignity and human rights of minorities and ‘under-represented’ groups in politics?

* Alexandra Xanthaki is Professor of Laws at Brunel University London and UN Special Rapporteur in the field of Cultural Rights since 2021.
