Experiments in Education: A Special Symposium Issue on "Humiliation in the Academic Setting"

Guest Editor
Annette A. Engler*

The January 2006 issue of Experiments in Education will be a symposium on the theme ‘Humiliation in the Academic Setting’. It can be thought of as a follow up of the editorial, ‘The Feeling of Being Humiliated in the Classroom’ carried in our January 2001 issue.

The aim of the proposed symposium is to highlight the varieties of humiliation generated and suffered in the larger academic setting. An announcement about this symposium inviting contributions has been put up in the website of the Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies www.humiliationstudies. This is an international network of academics and professionals committed to the eventual elimination of humiliation from the face of the earth, founded by Dr. Evelin Gerda Lindner, affiliated, among others, to the Conflict Resolution Network, Columbia University, U.S.A.

Contributions from scholars are invited for this symposium. The length and format as well as the types of contributions are broadly the same as given in our guidelines to contributors on the third cover page.

Contributions may please be sent by e-mail to the guest editor, Ms. Annette A. Engler at AnnetteAEngler@aol.com with a copy to the editor, Dr. D. Raja Ganesan, at drajaganesan@rediffmail.com.

The last date for receipt of contributions is November 2005
