Attend the the 3rd edition of the HSC One-Day Conference
‘Humanitarian Studies: Adapting and Reworking in New Times and Contexts’
The HSC is a hive of transformative initiatives around Humanitarian Studies aimed at academic and applied research; teaching and
training; networking and impact.
Humanitarian Studies is:
“The study of societies and vulnerable communities experiencing humanitarian crises originating from disasters, conflicts, refugee situations, and/or political collapse. It studies the causes and impacts of crisis; how people, communities and authorities respond to them, including efforts for prevention and preparedness; how humanitarian action and other external interventions are organized and affect the recovery from crises; and the institutional changes that crises and crisis response engender. “
– Thea Hilhorst, Director, HSC
