HCRI are delighted to welcome guest speaker Professor Mark Duffield to help us launch the Journal of Humanitarianism Affairs. Mark will introduce the theme of the first issue, ‘post-humanitarianism’, which his article in the issue speaks to. After this introduction, there will be a roundtable discussion on this theme, with contributor to the issue, Caroline Abu-Sada (SOS Méditerranée Switzerland), and representatives from the journal’s editorial team: Juliano Friori (Save the Children UK), Michaël Neumann (MSF) and Róisín Read (HCRI).

The journal is an exciting new open access journal hosted jointly by The Humanitarian Affairs Team at Save the Children UK, and Centre de Réflexion sur l’Action et les Savoirs Humanitaires MSF (Paris) and the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute at the University of Manchester.

A wine reception to celebrate the launch will conclude the festivities.
