Refugees and Humiliation Project (alphabetical)
Terrorism and Humiliation Project (alphabetical)

The research branch of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS) aims at encouraging research related to dignity and humiliation. 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 research 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 Research Team (please note that our HumanDHS definition of a coordinator is different as compared to mainstream definitions - please read more here).

RALPH LENTZ
I am a native of the mountains of northwestern North Carolina and my family's roots in the region date back to the 1700s. Much of my academic work has been concerned with trying to discover what it means to be an "Appalachian". I am also a Christian, and more recently, I have become more interested in what it means to be a true human being - and to live in true community with other human beings. Hence my latest research has to do with exploring the connections between empire ("power") and theology ("religion") and how Christian theology can provide an alternative - another Way - for human community that is not based on an ontology of violence, but on what I like to call the "Ontology of the Word." [read more]
