Evelin Lindner introduces the concept of "Messages to the World" on Day Two of the  18th Annual Workshop on Transforming Humiliation and Violent Conflict, “Toward a New Global Normal: Dignity Through Solidarity,” co-hosted by Morton Deutsch-International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution at Teachers College, Columbia University, December 9 – 11, 2021, held online due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"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.

Evelin Lindner has a dual education as a Medical Doctor and a Psychologist, with a Ph.D. in Medicine from the University in Hamburg in Germany, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo. She is the founding president of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS), a global transdisciplinary community of concerned academics and practitioners who wish to promote dignity and transcend humiliation around the world. She is also co-founder of the World Dignity University initiative, from where the Dignity Press and World Dignity University Press emerged. All initiatives are not-for-profit efforts. Her first book, based on her doctoral dissertation in psychology, was titled 'Making Enemies: Humiliation and International Conflict' and was honoured as 'Outstanding Academic Title' by the journal 'Choice' in 2007. Desmond Tutu wrote the Foreword for her third book 'Gender, Humiliation, and Global Security'. Her fourth book 'A Dignity Economy' came out in 2012, and her fifth book 'Honor, Humiliation, and Terror' came out in 2017.
