Law Prof. Karen Busby and Brandon University historian Dr. Rhonda Hinther co-edit a book series on human rights and social justice for University of Manitoba Press. Busby was the founding director of the Centre for Human Rights Research and Hinther is former director of research and curation at the Canadian Musuem for Human Rights.
University of Manitoba professors Adam Muller, Andrew Woolford and Busby have edited a collection of essays titled The Idea of a Human Rights Museum, which was published by the University of Manitoba Press in October 2015. One chapter highlights University of Manitoba research on the ability of new digital technologies to represent suffering in contemporary museums.
