Welcome to Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS)
We are a global transdisciplinary network and fellowship of concerned academics and practitioners. We wish to stimulate systemic change, globally and locally, to open space for mutual respect and esteem to take root and grow, thus ending humiliating practices and breaking cycles of humiliation throughout the world.
We suggest that a frame of cooperation and shared humility is necessary - not a mindset of humiliation - if we wish to build a better world, a world of equal dignity for all.
We are currently around 1000 personally invited members, and our website is being accessed by ca. 40 000 people from more than 180 countries per year.
If you wish, please see here a short welcoming video clip, and then enter our website in more depth here, or through the links on the upper left side of this page. If you click on the picture, you see our 14th Annual Conference (also our 6th Workshop on Humiliation and Violent Conflict in New York, December 2009). See our calendar of events.
