Ruth Kelly
Ruth Kelly is a lecturer in human rights, based at the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York.
Her research is on cultural politics, human rights and social justice – looking at how inventive storytelling and other familiar cultural practices can help activists reimagine justice and negotiate citizenship. Since 2016 she has been working with artists and activists from Bangladesh and Uganda to explore the links between visual and performance art, activism, and the political imagination. She has also supported programmes of peer-learning for human rights leaders and activists at risk, at York and at Oxford.
Before taking up her post at York, Ruth held a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford, based at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, and a lectureship at the University of Durham, based in the School of Government and International Affairs. She has previously worked with ActionAid, Oxfam, UNDP and the European Commission, and held a fellowship at Yale University.
