The Sacred #70: Adam Wagner

The Sacred #70: Adam Wagner

Elizabeth Oldfield speaks to human rights barrister Adam Wagner. 29/07/2020

Adam is a human rights barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, a visiting professor at Goldsmiths University, Chair of the human rights charity EachOther, and host of the Better Human Podcast.

In this episode he speaks about why he is nervous of the concept of the sacred, his Jewish religious practice, how human rights frameworks temper our worst selves, and why he is still a fan of Twitter.
