Call for Papers
The Journal of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (JHDHS) is an online, peer-reviewed scholarly publication of the Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies network, a global network of academicians and practitioners who wish to promote a world of more dignity and less humiliation. HumanDHS network members study the dynamics of humiliation, the antecedents and consequences of humiliating behaviors, and interventions to break cycles of humiliation and restore human dignity, believing that this can lead to a resolution of previously intractable conflicts. JHDHS has its electronic base at the University for Peace, Costa Rica , and provides a venue for sharing this research and a forum to define the developing field of humiliation studies, theoretically and in practice. The journal supports a variety of integrative methodologies, including but not exclusive to scientific quantitative and qualitative analysis, photography, poetry, etc.
The Journal of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies maintains a rolling deadline and seeks submissions on topics such as:
• Quantitative and qualitative research on the phenomenon of humiliation in its embeddedness into other notions, such as, for example, honor and dignity, and into historic transformations and socio-political structures
• Theory-building with respect to humiliation and its differentiation from related concepts such as shame or humility
• Case examples of "promising practices" illustrating effective efforts to promote human dignity and transform humiliation

Journal of Globalization for the Common Good
Journal of Globalization for the Common Good (JGCG) is envisioned to enhance the well-being (both physical and spiritual) and prosperity of human kind by serving and promoting the common good through communication and cooperation. This will be based on the following principles:
Dialogue: Communication is the most appropriate vehicle for understanding "others," enhancing intercultural cooperation, creating goodwill, and establishing sound international relations.
Justice: Justice is the key factor in dealing with all human endeavours. It is the creation of a global atmosphere in which all people are treated in a humane and just manner.
Sustainability: In this fast changing world of today, our choices will determine not only how we live in the short run but also how succeeding generations will live in the distant future.
Psychotherapy and Politics International
It is an ideal forum for those who have a keen interest and commitment to the role of humiliation in the genesis of global conflict and post-conflict transition.
Edward Sieveking Emery is the
Associate Editor.
The International Journal of Transitional Justice
The International Journal of Transitional Justice is a new journal launching in March 2007. It will publish high quality, refereed articles in the rapidly growing field of transitional justice; that is the study of those strategies employed by states and international institutions to deal with a legacy of human rights abuses and to effect social reconstruction in the wake of widespread violence. The Journal is envisioned as a central site from which to house and build upon an array of research and writing currently available in this field. It is intended to span the analytical bridge between scholars and practitioners, and facilitate sustained interaction across the range of disciplines encompassed by the topic of transitional justice.
