Human Suffering and Humanitarian Response
Durham Castle Public Lecture Series
Professor Craig Calhoun, Director of the London School of Economics
Humanitarian emergencies are not simply brute facts, appealing directly to our emotions or our moral sensibilities. They are one of the important ways in which perceptions of human life, sympathy for suffering, and responses to social upheaval have come to be organized in recent decades. Like nations and business corporations, they are creatures of social imaginaries, but no less materially influential for that.
