The Role of Networks in Advancing Human Rights

It's wonderful to see The Role of Networks in Advancing Human Rights: Making Human Connections (Edward Elgar Publishing), edited by Shareen Hertel, Mark Gibney, and Bonny Ibhawoh, is now available!

From the blurb: “Chapters employ case studies and data to demonstrate how scholars, practitioners and activists build networks on a variety of intersecting issues. The book demonstrates how human connections enable knowledge sharing and collaboration across disciplines, driving innovation in addressing global challenges such as inequality and injustice.”

Lab director Kelebogile Zvobgo and lab faculty affiliate Francesca Parenta wrote chapter six, on academic networks as research and learning communities, discussing how cross-institutional collaborations (like the one they’ve developed between William & Mary and Christopher Newport University) can advance research, teaching, mentorship, and service in human rights.
