“I can’t change what happened to you in the past, but together we may be able to use your experience to help protect other people.” ~ Megan Twohey
We look back with pride on the conferral of honorary doctorates to Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor at the Faculty of Social Sciences of KU Leuven. Through their courageous investigative journalism, they gave a voice to people around the world who had gone unheard for too long.
This recognition underlines the values that our faculty and KU Leuven hold dear: critical reflection, social responsibility and the power of facts that make a difference. It was a day full of valuable reflections on the impact of journalism on society and policy. Inspiring for our students, researchers and everyone who believes in the power of truth, journalism and social impact.
