The Department of Psychology (FoHSS), in partnership with the UCP International Office, had the privilege of hosting Dr. Evelin Lindner, a global expert in Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies, for a series of discussions called “Dignilogues” on January 7th, 2025. During these sessions, students from undergraduate to PhD levels engaged in thoughtful conversations on important topics such as fairness in grading systems, the path to global peace, and the challenges of the Middle East crisis.
These discussions encouraged students to think critically and reflect on global issues through the lens of dignity and empathy. Dr. Lindner’s visit highlights UCP’s dedication to fostering meaningful discussions and providing a platform for transformative learning experiences. The event added tremendous value by offering participants profound insights into the complexities of human dignity and social justice. It created a space for students to engage with global challenges from diverse perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of peacebuilding and empathy.
Ultimately, the experience enhanced both academic and personal growth, equipping everyone with the tools to approach these issues with greater sensitivity and awareness.
