Pamela Teitelbaum

Pamela Teitelbaum began her PhD  in the fall of 2010 through the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University.  She has returned to academia to pursue research that investigates how ‘girl-friendly’ organizations are understanding the value of the interplay between online network technology, and digital videos as a means for sharing knowledge and research, encouraging participation in policy dialogue; sharing practices; and engaging girls themselves? 

From 2003 until 2010, Pamela worked as an Education Specialist at Equitas –International Centre for Human Rights Education. Pamela has been working on issues of human rights and social justice for over 15 years, in particular on issues of women and girls’rights; children’s rights in conflict situations; and on the use of information communication technologies and human rights. Pamela has worked extensively as a researcher, writer, editor, and program manager within the NGO sector and documentary films. For several years, she served on the board of directors of the Girls’ Action Fund (formerly Power Camp National). Pamela was also an active member of the Advisory Committee for WITNESS, helping to launch the new Video Advocacy Institute in 2007. In the past, Pamela partnered with Peacemedia magazine as a co-editor for a special issue on children and armed conflict as well as with the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts – Youth Institute to implement an arts-based children’s rights project in several elementary schools throughout Montreal.  She has also served on the Holocaust Education Series Committee for the Montreal Holocaust Centre. Pamela holds a BA in Political Science, with a specialization in international relations, and a Master‘s degree in Public Policy and Public Administration (International Affairs). She is also an avid photographer!
