Prof. Karen Busby and Dr. Rhonda Hinther will co-edit a new book series on human rights and social justice for University of Manitoba Press. Busby is director of the Centre for Human Rights Research and Hinther is director of research and curation at the Canadian Musuem for Human Rights.

University of Manitoba professors Adam Muller, Andrew Woolford and Busby are working on a collection of essays tentatively titled The Idea of a Human Rights Museum, which they hope to publish in 2014. One chapter will highlight University of Manitoba research on the ability of new digital technologies to represent suffering in contemporary museums. (See related CBC story.)

Law students are also invited to do independant research papers with Prof. Busby on topics suggested by Canadian Museum for Human Rights researchers.

Meanwhile, the Centre for Human Rights Research is supporting:

• development of writing projects for social justice and human rights by University of Manitoba education professors Michelle Honeyford and Wayne Serebrin; and
• creation of a documentary on the Barefoot Teachers Initiative in India.
