Education Team

The education branch of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS) aims at disseminating the research findings related to dignity and humiliation to a wide variety of audiences. We wish to contribute to the capacity of people to build peaceful societies and be mindful of how humiliation may disrupt the social fabric, and how social cohesion may be sustained by preventing humiliation from occurring. You are invited to develop ideas and projects that aim at dignifying our world, and preventing and healing humiliation. We wish to harness and nurture everybody's expertise for our HumanDHS educational activities, create cross-fertilization and synergy, and hope that our efforts will grow organically from our discussions and meetings!

We are looking for a Coordinator/Director for our Education Team (please note that our HumanDHS definition of a coordinator is different as compared to mainstream definitions - please read more here).
