Dwight Newman of the University of Saskatchewan discussed his new book, Community and Collective Rights: A Theoretical Framework for Rights Held by Groups at a roundtable on January 6, 2012. Newman's book presents an argument for the existence of moral rights held by groups and a resulting account of how to reconcile group rights with individual rights and with the rights of other groups. The roundtable included Benjamin Berger of Osgoode Hall Law School, Tracy Isaacs of Philosophy and Women's studies at Western, Western Law professor Erika Chamberlain and members of Western's Public Law and Legal Philosophy Group.
