Study Groups | DSA Ireland

The Humanitarian Action Study Group (HASG) brings together both scholars and practitioners of humanitarian action to share knowledge, expertise and experience in the areas of humanitarian action, humanitarian intervention, human rights / protection, complex emergencies and the inter-section of development and humanitarian programming. If appropriate, the group will also act as a focal point for networking in support new research initiatives (including applied research) in these areas. It is currently co-convened by Sufiye Ergun and Eka Astuti. To find out more about this group contact Safiye and Eka at humanitarian@dsaireland.org.
