Additional Information

Our next Little Heresies event takes place on 5 July. Marc DuBois and Siobhan McGee will have a conversation about disrupting power in international humanitarian action. The humanitarian sector has been described as no longer fit for purpose. It has long understood the changes it needs to make, yet fails due to its underlying truths, structures and system. Change? Easier said than done.  

In his recently published paper The New Humanitarian Basics, Marc describes his vision of a future humanitarian sector. A sector that is more ethical, responsive and less paternalistic. Getting there requires rethinking many of the sector’s core concepts, and “unsticking” its unequal power dynamics, an endeavour close to the heart of McGee’s ActionAid. You are invited to join the conversation at 6pm at Trinity Business School, 152-160 Pearse Street Dublin 2.
