The University of Alberta Visiting Lectureship in Human Rights was inaugurated in 1998 by South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu. It provides a means for Albertans to further learn about and discuss human rights issues while solidifying the University's commitment to providing an understanding of these issues in global and local contexts.
Throughout her career Madam Justice Silberman Abella has been at the forefront of advancing human rights in Canada.
In 1984 she chaired the Royal Commission on Equality in Employment which established the term "employment equity" and advocated for eliminating barriers in employment for women, aboriginal people, persons with disabilities and visible minorities.
She was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 2004.
