I'm a human rights lawyer with a PhD. I currently work at the Office of the Estonian Chancellor of Justice (also serving as an NHRI) where I lead the human rights work of the Chancellor - from international reporting to human rights education and research initiatives. 

 

Although trained in law, my work regularly wanders to other disciplines: from anthropology & sociology to public health & design. Whatever I do, I always try to be a bit of a troublemaker and not limit myself to "traditional ways of doing". 

​

My teaching and research communication have a strong visual component. 

​

Currently I'm interested in researching:

​​

• obstetric violence,

• sexual & reproductive rights in places of detention,

• gender based violence and transitional justice, 

• the role of health care professionals in human rights protection, 

• sexual & reproductive rights in disability rights narratives.

You can find me on LinkedIn and send me a message (liiri.oja@gmail.com). 

​​

I'm available for consultancies, workshop design, speaking engagements, conference collaborations & research supervision.
