Dear colleagues, Thank you to those who were able to participate in today's CAHRI call. Here are some notes from the discussion; - Centres/institutes in attendance: Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism<http://www.mcgill.ca/humanrights/>, McGill University, Centre for Human Rights Research<https://chrr.cc.umanitoba.ca/chrr/>, University of Manitoba, Human Rights Research & Education Centre<https://cdp-hrc.uottawa.ca/>, University of Ottawa, Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child<http://droitcivil.uottawa.ca/interdisciplinary-research-laboratory-rights-c…>, University of Ottawa (LRIDE), International Justice & Human Rights Clinic<http://www.allard.ubc.ca/IJHR/Clinic>, University of British Columbia, and Landon Pearson Centre for the Study of Childhood and Children's Rights<http://www.landonpearson.ca/>, Carleton University. - The call started with brief remarks about the status of each member participating in the call, including information about current projects, major initiatives, recent developments, challenges, etc. - Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights<https://cdp-hrc.uottawa.ca/en/publications/canadian_yearbook_human_rights> was presented as a project that could become a joint initiative. John Packer presented the work done to date and the basic principles under which this initiative has operated since its "resurrection" by uOttawa in 2015. He invited institutions interested in joining the editorial board to nominate a representative: Manitoba, McGill and LRIDE indicated their interest. If you would like to join this project, please contact John Packer at jpacker(a)uottawa.ca<mailto:jpacker@uottawa.ca>. He will follow up on this separately. - The CAHRI webpage<http://wp.stu.ca/ahrc/association-of-canadian-human-rights-institutes/> hosted by St. Thomas contains a basic statement to explain who is CAHRI and its purpose. o The idea of meeting in person when possible is mentioned ("the group will seek to meet annually, ideally coinciding with large academic events that member institutions plan to attend. Virtual participation will be an option for members unable to attend in person. The location of the meetings will rotate among member institutions.") With this in mind, are there upcoming opportunities for members to meet? Please send information about such events via the listserv. If a member wishes to take the lead on this to make possible an in person CAHRI meeting in 2020, please indicate this to the group. § MIGS and HRREC will host the #RightCity2020 in Ottawa next June 2nd or 3rd. Information to follow in the coming weeks. o The page also shows information about academic programs members are offering. If your institution has something to add to this list, please send the information to Christina Szurlej at cszurlej(a)stu.ca<mailto:cszurlej@stu.ca> . - Listserv: members are encouraged to share information about major projects and events via the listserv (use address hr-research-centres(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:hr-research-centres@lists.umanitoba.ca> ). Newsletters from McGill and HRREC will be circulated this way going forward. - Are there other academic groups that could be a part of CAHRI? If so, please send suggestions to Viviana Fernandez at vfernand(a)uottawa.ca<mailto:vfernand@uottawa.ca> . Please feel free to add if I forgot something important. Best wishes!

U Waterloo human rights professor job
by Helen Fallding 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

1. St. Paul's University College<https://uwaterloo.ca/stpauls/> Tenure-track Position in Human Rights St. Paul’s University College, at the University of Waterloo, invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in Human Rights. The position will commence on August 1, 2020. Candidates must hold a doctorate in a relevant discipline with a demonstrated record of scholarship focused on human rights. Specific expertise in either the rights of Indigenous peoples or the rights of refugees would align well with other College priorities but our central objective is to appoint someone with a broad understanding of the theory and practice of human rights. Professional experience in human rights work is an asset, but not a requirement. Please note that St. Paul’s has a remarkably strong sense of community and we look for faculty and staff who will contribute to the life and work of the College as a whole. In addition to the standard cover letter and curriculum vitae, applications must include a two-page syllabus that shows how you would structure a one-semester course titled Introduction to Human Rights. Applications may be sent via email to Charlene Hone<mailto:chone@uwaterloo.ca>. Questions about the position may be directed to the chair of the search committee, Dr. Peter Frick<mailto:pfrick@uwaterloo.ca>. The closing date is Friday, December 6th. St. Paul’s is proud to have a diverse faculty group. We welcome applications from all qualified individuals including women, Indigenous people, members of visible minorities and persons with disabilities. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority in the recruitment process.
