“Why do some people get to make decisions about their lives, and other people don’t?” Susan Farbstein, J.D. Since then, she has continued to think about human dignity and autonomy—and how the law can promote them. After law school, Farbstein worked at the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) in South Africa on projects seeking “accountability, broadly conceived” for apartheid-era abuses. At Harvard, she leads the International Human Rights Clinic: a group of six faculty and about 30 students who are partnering with a Ukrainian human rights organization to consider how to build a case against Russia for war crimes. Farbstein educates students on human rights law, and also how best to approach such heavy work—by building resilience and avoiding burnout.
