Biography

Christine Lwanga is an Adjunct Professor and Research Fellow at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Social Work. Her research interests center on human rights principles, policy that supports sustainable development, and the systemic issues surrounding human and social problems. Lwanga emphasizes the importance of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the UNESCO Declaration on Race and Racial Prejudice (1978) in her work advocating for universal human rights. She employs critical race theory and post-modernist approaches in her studies, focusing on the root causes of systemic racism and its barriers to mental health and equitable development. Lwanga is also involved in transformative teaching and participatory action research, aiming for social justice and decolonization in her methodologies. Currently, she is co-leading a project under the MITACS-BSI partnership that explores human rights-centered practices and theories to enhance the effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs.
