Jennifer Carter is Associate Professor in the Department of Art History and interfaculty graduate Museology programmes at the Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada. A core area of her research investigates the global phenomenon of human rights museology, and considers how historical and social justice are negotiated curatorially and pedagogically in cultural institutions dedicated to human rights in different geo-cultural and political contexts around the world. She earned her PhD at McGill University in Montréal and has published her research widely in English and French.
