The Humanitarian Action Study Group of DSA Ireland is a network of practitioners, scholars and activists interested in issues related to humanitarian emergencies and action in response to those emergencies. The purpose of the group is to provide opportunities for members to share expertise and experience and provide opportunities for networking, learning and information exchange and to create a platform for future learning opportunities and research related to humanitarian action in Ireland.
During the Spring and early summer of 2014 the group held an inaugural series of three seminars as follows:
- Forgotten Crisis? Emergency in Southern Sudan - for more details, see: http://www.dsaireland.org/newsevents/2014/04/25/forgotten-crisis-emergency-in-southern-sudan-pres/
- Ebola in West Africa - for more details, see: http://www.dsaireland.org/newsevents/2014/06/18/short-video-humanitarian-action-study-group-panel/
- Crisis in the Central African Republic - for more details, see: http://www.dsaireland.org/newsevents/2014/06/17/panel-discussion-crisis-in-the-central-african-rep/
The group now welcomes any proposals for new panels for the Autumn period (Sept - Dec). If you would like to propose a topic for a panel and / or have expertise in an area related to humanitarian action, please contact Rob Kevlihan, HASG convenor at rob.kevlihan@kimmagedsc.ie with recommended subject areas and / or potential panelists.
