Welcome to Season 2! We talk to Dr. Bruce Miller, a sociocultural anthropologist who has testified as an expert witness in some of the most important Indigenous human rights cases in Canada. Dr. Miller tells us what an expert witness is, what he learned while testifying in Gladys Radek and Deborah Campbell's human rights cases, and he shares some seriously scathing critiques of the colonial human rights system. You can learn more from Dr. Miller in his upcoming book: "Witness to the Human Rights Tribunals: How the System Fails Indigenous Peoples".

Discussed: expert witnesses, human rights system, discrimination, racism, how the human rights system should change.
