Introduction
Since 2003, we have had two annual conferences, always one in December in New York City, and the other outside of New York City at varying times during the year. Each conference has had a very distinct flavor. So far, our NY Workshops on Transforming Humiliation and Violent Conflict have been larger (65 participants), more formal, structured, as well as more outward oriented than our outside-of-the US conferences, which have been smaller (15-25 participants), more open, informal, and more geared toward weaving our network closer together within.
(Important note: During our conferences, we always ask all participants for their permission to have their pictures or videos posted on our website, however, if you change your mind later, either in total or for specific pictures/videos, please let us know! Thank you!)
Frame and goals of our conferences
It is important to note that our appreciative frame is a HumanDHS-defined version of AI. We believe in "waging good conflict" (Jean Baker Miller). We believe that diverging opinions and perspectives need to be expressed and not avoided, because diversity enriches. However, diversity only enriches if embedded into mutual connection and appreciation. If not harnessed lovingly and caringly, diversity has the potential to humiliate, divide, create hostility, foster hatred, and even violence. In the spirit of our vision, we, the HumanDHS network, wish therefore to avoid the latter, and instead open up a space of common ground and mutually caring connections, a space for the safe expression of even the deepest differences and disagreements, and the toughest issues of humiliation, trauma, and injustice.

Appreciative Enquiry (HumanDHS-defined version of AE)
by Linda Hartling, August 2004
In our conferences we aim at creating a
humiliation-free, collaborative learning environment characterized by
mutual respect, mutual empathy, and openness to difference. The perspective of "appreciative enquiry" is a useful frame
of our work. Our HumanDHS efforts are not just about the work we do together, but also about HOW WE WORK
TOGETHER. At appropriate points during our conferences, for example
at the end of each day, we take a moment to reflect on the
practices observed that contributed to an appreciative/humiliation-free
learning experience.
It is important to emphasize that an
appreciative approach is not about expecting people to agree. In fact,
differences of opinion enrich the conversation and deepen people's
understanding of ideas. Perhaps, this could be conceptualized as "waging
good conflict," which means practicing radical respect for differences and
being open to a variety of perspectives and engaging others without contempt
or rankism. As we have seen in many fields, contempt and rankism drains
energy away from the important work that needs to be done. Most people
only know "conflict" as a form of war within a win/lose frame. "Waging good
conflict," on the other side, is about being empathic and respectful, making room for
authenticity, creating clarity, and growth.
Linda kindly adds (July 17, 2007):
For me our approach means daring to "move toward mutuality" in all of our efforts. I conceptualize "movement toward mutuality" as an powerful act of resistance to organizational practices that implicitly or explicitly propagate exploitation. In "Relational-Cultural-Organizational Theory" (my variation on RCT), exploitation might be called "relational-organizational malpractice" (a variation of Joyce Fletcher's term). Far too many for-profit and nonprofit organizations depend on countless forms of relational-organizational malpractice, including shameless exploitation. Whether this occurs in an organization that is working for good or not, it is still malpractice.

Appreciative Being
Donald C. Klein, August 2004
The term "Appreciative Inquiry" and the approach to organizational consulting and inquiry was developed by David Cooperrider at Case Western Reserve University. The approach is gaining wide usage among people doing organizational consulting. My work overlaps with David's approach. I am using the term "Appreciative Being" to describe a way of relating to life events via our human inherent capacity for experiencing awe and wonderment at being part of the universe.
Appreciative Caring
Evelin Lindner, September 2004
The Jean Baker Miller Training Institute recently hosted a conference about Creating Relational Possibilities, with its last session about Holding a Vision of Hope. I think that both headings are also important for our group and our conferences. We are not motivated by financial rewards or by wanting to have a job. Our motivation is provided by our values and goals and the enthusiasm and hope we can create in our group. We want to contribute to building "a better world" and this is what drives us.
Thus, the inner cohesion of our group must be our priority, otherwise none of our activities will have any grounding and we will fail. This is, incidentally, also the cutting edge guideline in corporate sector consultancy ("hire for attitude, not for skill!" Kjell A. Nordström, Stockholm). In other words, it applies even to ordinary companies that need to make profit. Therefore, nurturing the relationships among ourselves, caring for each other, keeping our spirits up, must be the object of our primary attention.
This entails many details. Whoever holds a job for financial rewards and finds broader meaning not within, but outside the job, easily develops a host of attitudes and behaviours that might be damaging to our group, if displayed there. Many companies are afflicted, for example, by fragmentation. Out of frustration, employees may be tempted to try building alternative power bases for themselves among their collegues by blackening others ("don't tell X that I think that X is wrong in doing x, y, z..."). We have to guard against this kind of fragmentation. Or, perceived failings and disappointments among colleagues often lead to rifts ("take me off her team"); in our group such disappointments require that we all engage in healing activities.
Deutsch's Crude Law of Social Relations is central as well, which indicates, in short, that "cooperation breeds cooperation, while competition breeds competition" (Morton Deutsch, 1973, p. 367).
Long is the list of new relational skills which we need to learn in order to build a cohesive group of mutual enrichment, which only then can contribute to building "a better world." Appreciative Inquity, Appreciative Being, and Appreciative Caring, all three need to be combined so as to achieve social relationships of equal dignity (that are void of humiliation), which in turn enable us to do constructive work in and for the wider world.
Please see here Buddhist Teachings on Right Speech,
that relate to our quest for appreciative enquiry, caring and being.

Appreciative Nurturing
Evelin Lindner, June 2007
Dear Friends!
Please let me share with you a text (see further down) that is in the process of being written by several of our network members. You are invited to add to it! (If you wish to contribute to this text, please send me your contribution and I include it into the attached text!)
Noel Mordana is currently creating an academic paper that is based on this text, to be submitted to our new journal.
Many have expressed interest in this text, so, perhaps we can treat Noel's version as one product, and the organic growth of the attached paper as a separate project?!
Lovingly!
Evelin
Appreciative Nurturing (AE), a text in the process of being written collectively.

Appreciative Leadership in Our HumanDHS Network
The Tree: Job Descriptions!
Michael Britton, June 2008
Dear Friends!
I am thinking of concentric circles. In the innermost circle are the small number at the heart of the Network, whose job seems to be threefold: (1)the bringing in of new people, which you, Evelin, do so amazingly; (2) meditating/reflecting on the core concepts of the Network: humiliation, dignity, appreciation, transformation, nurturing -- and how these are lived in day to day interactions/relationships with each other, within the Network, with anyone; the role of Tenders of the Mission, explorers of the "tactics" of appreciation, apology, forgiveness, etc; (3) providing service to the members in the next circle: encouragement, modeling of good relating, connecting them with one another as resources to each other, encouraging them in their own sense of mission, their own projects, etc. -- the Tree encouraging its branches to dare to grow their own fruit.
In the next circle are the members of the Network who are essentially doing their own thing, drawn to the Network by a shared focus on humiliation, dignity, nurturing, appreciation, transformation -- who participate in the sharing and cross-fertilization and mutual encouragement that takes place at the Conferences, and hopefully via the internet forums. The forums allow for an easier "networking" around shared interests -- education, research, etc. -- to compare, contrast, keep each other updated so that synergies can pop out and be taken advantage of, etc.
A coordinator or director of one of those forums is someone who takes the step out of the second circle into the first: S/he may continue to do their own thing, but that is not what the position is about. When acting in this role, the person focuses on the members in the second ring and what they are about, what they are trying to do, and provides encouragement, connections, brainstorming and the like for them in the pursuit of their own projects. A coordinator is a nurturer of other people in their own work, and sometimes in their own lives when they feel overall discouraged. A "coordinator" is not thought of as a "director" but more as a servant, a provider, one who seeks to be of help.
A coordinator also tends the larger picture in that domain, be it education or research or whatever: Where do all the individual efforts seem to be going, what do they have in common, where can they cross-fertilize, what does the bigger picture of global transformation seem to be most in need of that can be put out as a thinking-point that individual researchers might or might not want to take up as part of their work.
The other side of a coordinator role, as someone who has been brought into the first circle, is to enter into the shared process of reflection that goes on at the heart of the Network, reflection on humiliation/dignity/nurture/ transformation/appreciation/etc, as broad ways of understanding global life, its needs and possibilities, and on the "micro" level of our lived interactions. This is the realm of "walking the talk" and anyone who comes into the first circle as a coordinator takes on the responsibility for this kind of personal reflection so that, in the course of attending to the members of the Network he/she deals with, the interactions embody the effort to live what we think about. In this the goal is that whoever we have dealt with comes away with their own dignity "grown" or affirmed in the process.
Reflections on travel and global warming
Please let us insert some reflections on the problem of travel to our conferences and global warming.
Neil Ryan Walsh, May 23, 2007
During a presentation at our 2007 conference in Hangzhou, China, environmentalist Keitaro Morita, pointed out how many “environmental” and “progressive” organizations do not “walk the talk” of environmentalism, and how participation in international conferences contributes to the problem of global warming.
We, the HumanDHS network, promote the vision that all global citizens ought to recognize their joint responsibility for their human family and its biosphere.
We hold one conference a year in a different part of the world so as to make it more accessible to members from all regions to meet each other, and make great efforts for people from developed and developing parts of the world to interact. We realize that travel to these activities also to global warming.
Taking Action:
As meeting face-to-face is an important part of building our global network, we think we should continue to hold our conferences while supporting alternative fuel technologies and lobbying the world's decision makers and engineers to leave the outdated technology of burning fossil fuels behind.
Your vital contribution to these efforts is needed:
We would also ask those interested to support or become involved in one of the environmental groups we recommend on World Environment for Equal Dignity Project.
We are constantly attempting to build and improve digital interconnectedness of our network. Any ideas or other contributions you have to help us improve these efforts is greatly welcome and appreciated.
• Lynn King kindly shares with us advice as to how to organise a 'Green Conference'!
Evelin Lindner, May 29, 2007
We are very conscious of the fact that our global conferences add to global warming when our participants use airplanes. We have several thoughts:
1. We attempt to build digital ways of meeting so that the need for travel is lessened.
2. Many of our participants do not come from the wealthy parts of the world, and adding to their sense of exclusion through forbidding them to come to our conferences, would easily amount to humiliation.
3. Conversely, we would like to encourage people from the wealthier parts of the world to engage with the rest actively and in person, so as to be better prepared to address the suffering of millions.
4. We, the HumanDHS network, wish to promote dignity and transcend humiliation, among others by promoting the vision that all global citizens ought to recognize their joint responsibility for their human family and its biosphere. Meeting face-to-face, at least once in a while, is an important part of building a global human family. Instead of cutting down on something that is important for building a global family, namely to meet, we think we should rather work for increasing efforts to press the world's decision makers and engineers to do something that is long overdue, namely to leave outdated technologies behind (see links to organizations that merit support, for example, on our World Environment for Equal Dignity page).
Michael Britton, June 12, 2007
Please read an essay that Michael Britton wrote in response to the dialogue between Evelin Lindner and Neil Ryan had on the challenge of finding the "right" moral tone in formulating a statement for our website in response to a writer's email noting that our annual conferences involve air travel: Doesn't that involve us in activity that works counter to concerns about climate change? What should the Network's statement on the subject be? I was delighted by the invitation to comment on their joint writing endeavor. How could I not find the issues they so elegantly raised both fascinating and illuminating?
Michael Britton (June 2007)
Finding the ‘Right’ Moral Tone Regarding Climate Change
And Travel
Ideas for future conferences
Michael Britton, June 3, 2007
I found myself imagining a different kind of conference in which we would do art together, and/or movement, to give expression to the phases of transformation from humiliation to egalization, as another way of "knowing" what it is our left-hemisphere's are working so hard on to represent in our writings. The experiences of being in humiliation, or of inflicting it. Of defending against it. Of getting angry or remorseful and deciding to change things. Of coming out of humiliation and its web of experiences into egalization and appreciation, mutuality, trust, safety, and so on. I think it's an interesting fantasy that might not be best realized in its original form. Maybe this is what you've been aiming for with the art-related part of the website? I wanted to pass this along to germinate, whatever it might grow into along the way!
Bill Leland, June 9, 2007
It is the action focus in the context of human dignity and mutuality which
seems to be coming through clearly and powerfully to me. So, what seems to
be appearing to me, probably still somewhat fuzzy, is action groups of 4 or
5 people who:
- communicate with each other via the Web,
- commit to manifest in their communications the values of human
dignity and mutual empowerment (the Network could coalesce from work already
done a set of guidelines),
- commit to act in their everyday lives in whatever context is most
appropriate at any given time (work situations, partner relationships,
parent-child relationships, etc.) to increase human dignity, decrease
humiliation, increase mutual empowerment (the Network could provided stories/exemplary case studies to give ideas about what, for example, in
real terms increasing human dignity looks like),
- commit to share their experiences with each other,
- commit to provide support for each other -"listening" (reading in
this case) and giving constructive and honest feedback.
These action groups could meet for a set period of time, for example three
months. During that time each action group would document one or more
stories or case studies which would describe the constructive actions and
challenging factors that are involved in walking into and creating the
alternative universe.
Each action group could determine which of their stories would be
contributed to the Network's central repository of these stories. The
repository could be organized according to the type of mutual relationship
in point. Overtime, we could expect to see wonderful real life stories which describe how human dignity and mutual empowerment transformed a wide range
of relationships - from families to international conflicts and
oppressions.
After a group had been together for, say, three months, each of the 4 or 5
people in that group would then form a new group of 4 or 5 people, and so
on.
It would probably be beneficial to have some way of presenting to the entire
alternative universe movement the sum of all that is happening. This
information could be shared in a variety of ways to the broadest and most
diverse public.
Jennifer Goldman, June 16, 2005
I support the idea of connecting the theory with practical application, and urge us to think about how what we’re researching and writing about can be applied in real world settings. It could be helpful for us to choose one or a few real world situations that are relevant for people’s work (for example, the situation at Abu Ghraib; or on-going problems of humiliations occurring at national and international boundaries, i.e. airport and road checkpoints in all parts of the world, from the U.S., to Tibet/China, to Israel/Palestine; or workplace-based humiliation) and use the examples to ground our discussions about theory and research... It could also be useful to make distinctions between different types of humiliation, such as individual-level, collective-level, etc. or humiliation that occurs within different settings, such as workplace, international, etc., and to have break-out sessions that focus on those topics.
Structurally, it could make sense to meet all day Thurs, and a half-day on Friday, so we can end on a strong note with most people in attendance on Friday (and perhaps to add an informal dinner on Wed night to extend the social time for those who could make it).
Jennifer kindly wrote (August 29, 2005): Dear Evelin, I hope you're doing well! I've done a bit of brainstorming for topics for the conference, and thought I'd forward them to you (I mentioned these to Peter and Beth as well). Best, Jennifer
Some ideas for small groups/topics for the humiliation conference:
• 1.
-
Does culture affect how people experience humiliating events? If so, how?
-
What role do collectivistic vs. individualistic cultures play in how people experience humiliating events?
-
Do people's behavioral reactions to humiliation differ depending on whether the humiliation is aimed at them individually versus collectively (i.e., an affront against one's person vs. an affront against one's group)? If so, how might their behavioral reactions differ? (e.g., would one type of humiliation lead people to be respond more aggressively than another?)
• 2.
-
What role do social norms play in how people react, emotionally and behaviorally, to humiliating events?
-
What role do social norms play in how people recall, or remember, humiliating events?
• 3.
-
To what degree is humiliation an "identity forming" emotion?
• 4.
-
How does the construct of humiliation differ from the constructs of shame, guilt, embarrassment and other similar emotions?
• 5.
Methodological considerations:
-
How can effective and efficient studies of humiliation be acheived through different methodologies?
-
What considerations need to be taken into account when studying humiliation in the field? In the lab? In survey studies?
-
How can we simulate studies on humiliation in the lab setting? What are the IRB issues involved?

Some relevant quotes
Now a lot of us are preachers, and all of us have moral convictions and concerns, and so often have problems with power. There is nothing wrong with power if power is used correctly. You see, what happened is that some of our philosophers got off base. And one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites - polar opposites - so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love. ..... What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
- A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King Jr., edited by James M. Washington. This quote comes from Martin Luther King Jr. 1967, SCLC presidential address.
- This quote was kindly provided to us by Linda Hartling.
For me, rather than thinking of human dignity as an individual, internal phenomena, I like to think of human dignity as a co-created experience. It is a experience developed through respectful connection (interpersonal, social, international, etc.) in which people feel known and valued, they feel that they matter... It is our responsibility to participate in the construction of this relational experience for all people.
- These are reflections sent to us by Linda Hartling on October 11, 2006.
Hans Blix formulated a list of adjectives that would be desirable for the conduct of an inspector. This list fleshes out the concept of walking the talk:
• Driving and dynamic – but not angry and aggressive
• Firm – but correct
• Ingenious – but not deceptive
• Somewhat flexible – but not to be pushed around
• Calm – but somewhat impatient
• Keeping some distance – but not arrogant or pompous
• Friendly – but not cozy
• Show respect for those you deal with – and demand respect for yourself
• A light tone or a joke may sometimes break a nervous atmosphere.
- Hans Blix, quoted from http://www.un.org/. See also page 52 in Hans Blix (2004), Disarming Iraq: The Search for Weapons of Mass Destruction, London, UK: Bloomsbury Publishing.
