In considering the potential roles of the World Dignity University, Evelin Lindner and others have invoked the original origins and meanings of the term “university,” harkening back to a time before institutions of higher learning were organized around departments, credits, and degrees.
An Introduction to Therapeutic Jurisprudence for Non-Lawyers (Winter/Spring 2023)
Description: Many members of the HDHS community engage in work that overlaps with law and public policy.
Frequent attendees of the annual December workshop may have attended presentations invoking therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ)
Law and Public Policy Through a Dignitarian Lens an interdisciplinary school of theory and practice that examines the therapeutic versus anti-therapeutic properties of law and public policy, legal procedures, and legal institutions. I strongly believe there is a natural tie between the human dignity and TJ communities. As both a HDHS board member and founding board chair of the International Society for Therapeutic Jurisprudence (https://intltj.com), a non-profit, learned association dedicated to public education about TJ, I would like to develop a program on TJ expressly for non-lawyers. The main purpose of the program would introduce participants to key TJ sources and help them to access TJ-related materials for their own work.
If those who are advancing human dignity wish to expand their influence, then assuming roles as global leaders and public intellectuals are paths toward doing so.

Mariana Vergara presents the participatory action research project 'Mindfulness into Action'.
This is the first of a series of articles by Mariana Vergara about her project 'Mindfulness into Action', which brings students from New York to the Amazon rainforest at Ruku Kausay, to give them the opportunity to learn from indigenous teachers about their mindful and sustainable culture.
Abstract of the paper:
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
Mikhail Bakunin
