Science & Cocktails: Why humanitarianism needs changing

Science & Cocktails: Why humanitarianism needs changing

Societies around the world are experiencing humanitarian crises that arise from disasters, conflicts, refugee situations, and/or political collapse. The causes and consequences of these crises are often not as simple as they seem. Professor of Humanitarian Studies Thea Hilhorst examines how people, communities, and authorities respond to crises, including efforts at prevention and preparedness. Spoken in English.

On the impact of humanitarian crises on societies

Hilhorst will also examine the organization and impact of humanitarian action. What impact do humanitarian crises have on societies and vulnerable communities? How can humanitarian action facilitate recovery after a crisis? What effect does the undermining of humanitarian law have on the legitimacy of humanitarian action? What impact will climate change have on humanitarianism? This event is an initiative of the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP) with the support of the University of Amsterdam. Science & Cocktails Amsterdam is presented in collaboration with Paradiso Amsterdam.
