Ana-Maria Costa (she/her) is a Master of Human Rights student at the Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba who is honouring her family and the thousands of other victims of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état through her thesis research. In elementary school, her teacher gifted her the book 'Underground to Canada' by Barbara Smucker, sparking a care and curiosity for the causes of human rights violations that she would carry throughout her academic career.

As Ana-Maria approaches her thesis, she sat down with Footsteps guest host and fellow classmate Maddy Nowosad (she/her), to reflect on the relational nature of human rights research, and the importance of talking with our own families and communities about the places we come from, and how those contexts shape our human rights work.
