The World Dignity University Initiative was founded by members of the Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies network. In fact it is now the organizational frame for the educational activities of HumanDHS. Both organizations are closely related. The HumanDHS website still holds the majority of content relevant for the history and concept of the WDU initiative.
The World Dignity University (WDU) Initiative and the Western Institute for Social Research (WISR) is continuing to develop a partnership that will provide adult learners the opportunity to pursue the multidisciplinary study of topics related to human dignity and social change.
IOU Foundation President, Dr. Sandra Hurlong, is honored to serve on the Board of WDU and IOU Foundation and its consortium partners Universidad Azteca/Universidad Central de Nicaragua offer full support as partners in social change and world peace.
