Adam Smith Business School

An interactive webinar to launch a short animation about Human Security Psychology

27 April 2023, 7pm - 8:30pm

Online (zoom) webinar

The EAWOP Impact incubator with the University of Glasgow’s Adam Smith Business School, in partnership with EPIC in Massey NZ, are pleased to announce the launch of a five-minute animation about Human Security Psychology. 

In this Age of the Anthropocene, Human security – and securing humanity’s future – has become a central policy issue. According to the United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security, people need personal, health, food, community, economic, environmental and political security. Recently, Project S.A.F.E. (Security Assessment For Everyone) recommended adding national, cyber, and global security to these concerns. Together they form a human security staircase, ranging from the micro to the macro, personal to global, which can be traversed in order to protect our species and planet. One way to help gain traction is through raising awareness through animation to bring human security policy options into everyday life. Since its inception as a modern and evolving discipline, psychology has been concerned with issues of human security. This new animation provides an initial conceptualisation of human security as a broad security concept that encompasses a range of interrelated dimensions that have been responded to by different sub-disciplinary domains within psychology. s with leading scholars and activists, those with lived experiences and an international audience of interested stakeholders.

This webinar will include interactive sessions with leading scholars and activists, those with lived experiences and an international audience of interested stakeholders.

Please note that this webinar will be recorded.
