University of Galway's Irish Centre for Human Rights (ICHR) successfully hosted its 23rd annual doctoral seminar this week, bringing together PhD students and distinguished experts in the field of human rights. The seminar, a cornerstone event for the ICHR, featured presentations from the Centre's doctoral candidates, who shared their ongoing research and received valuable feedback.

This year, the event was enhanced by the participation of several renowned external experts, including Professor Cathryn Costello from University College Dublin, Professor Ardi Imseis from Queen’s University Canada, and Dr. Hasret Cetinkaya, an alumnus of the ICHR PhD programme and current faculty member at Manchester Metropolitan University.

The seminar offered a platform for students to engage in intellectual exchange and refine their research approaches through discussions with these experienced scholars. The attendees also had the opportunity to hear research presentations from the visiting experts, further enriching the academic environment.

The Irish Centre for Human Rights expressed its gratitude to all participants and contributors, whose collaborative efforts made the seminar a success. The Centre looks forward to continuing its tradition of fostering rigorous academic inquiry and dialogue in the field of human rights.
