Dignity in development
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of dignity in the development sector and features a conversation with Tom Wein about his research on dignity as a core value.
The development sector proclaims that it values dignity. Yet it often breaks this promise, with people leaving encounters with charities feeling bruised and unseen. In this podcast, drawn from a recent lecture at IDS, research fellow Marina Apgar is in conversation with Tom Wein from the IDinsight Dignity Initiative who examines dignity as a core value around the world. Drawing on his in-progress research for his future book Lives of Dignity , Tom explores how dignity serves as both a universal human value and a practical principle for improving development outcomes and offers compelling evidence that dignity matters deeply to people worldwide.
