Channel: Evelin Lindner
Date: 2021-11-22

This is the "Message to the World" from Thomas Hylland Eriksen that he recorded on November 20, 2021, for the 18th Workshop on Transforming Humiliation and Violent Conflict at Columbia University in New York City, December 9 – 11, 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this conference had to take place online. See how his message was embedded in the workshop on Day Two at https://youtu.be/wBjOVJIhVJk .

"Messages to the World" are a contribution to the World Dignity University Library of Ideas to be shared with the world and, hopefully, inspirational for future generations. 

Geir Thomas Hylland Eriksen is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oslo. He has worked for years with the politics of identity, ethnicity, nationalism and globalisation from a comparative perspective, often with an ethnographic focus on Mauritius and Trinidad. He has also published popular scientific works and essays on cultural complexity in Norway, either with a focus on Norwegians or the multi-ethnic character of contemporary Norway.
