WAAS@64 Conference

Harnessing the Humanities for Human Security

“Human security is a process that can and should be applied to enhance implementation of all socially-endorsed goals related to human rights and human development.”

Please join the Human Security for All (HS4A) Conference, May 16, 2024 at 2:30-3:50 P.M. CET (8:30–9:50 EST; 14:30–15:50 CET; 18:00–19:20 IST) organized by The World Academy of Art and Science, co-organized by The Jena Declaration, a key project of the IGU Commission “Global Understanding”, on ”Harnessing the Humanities for Human Security”.

The sciences and the arts represent two complementary dimensions of knowledge that can converse and converge with one another to generate continually evolving knowledge that is greater than the sum of its parts. This panel will explore ways to integrate the objective and subjective dimensions of knowledge by harnessing insights from philosophy, art, history, literature, music, cinema, and other forms of the humanities to foster human security.
