Whistleblowing is a hot topic from Hollywood to Canary Wharf. It is rarely out of the media. But have you ever stopped to think about how we ‘talk’ about whistleblowing? Which words do we choose and why? Do those words matter? Liz Hornby, PhD candidate in the Department of Management discusses all these things and more, ahead of her Big Ideas talk on 15 November. 

Big Ideas is Birkbeck's public lecture series, bringing ground-breaking Birkbeck research to our local communities. They are free to attend and open to everyone.
