Global Advisory Board

The following is a short presentation of the Global Advisory Board Members of HumanDHS. The members are listed in alphabetical order.

The Global Advisory Board as you see it now, is very large. This is because the vision of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies, apart from being international, is to be broad and transdisciplinary. We wish to include leading minds from all parts of the world and from all relevant academic walks, as well as practitioners with different backgrounds, because our goal is to link research with practice, and the global with the local. Membership is upon invitation. We invite people who not only "talk the talk" but also try to "walk the talk" in their lives, and in the ways they bring their message into the world.

Dear Global Board Member! We would like to express our profound gratitude to you! The kind support from each of you is a great honor to Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies. We are well aware that it is a considerable sacrifice for each of you to offer your energy and time.
Again, our deep gratitude!
Evelin
